Third Reading

A note for anyone who, like me, has taken 20 years to find this fascinating site: The link cited by TerryF, above, still works (in the UK) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/cambri…
And those interested in the history of this history could also click the “see also” prompt on the right of the page.
How sad it is that so few of the first reading's links are still valid - and what an irony that Pepys work is still solid pen-and-ink while our work with it struggles to maintain integrity within modern technology.
Worth the struggle though - Pepys would have been astonished at our ability to maintain a community of interest and exploration in real time across continents.
