Changes in library provision are making it increasingly difficult for private researchers to have access to academic periodicals and for academics to access specialist journals that are available only in print. In a small gesture to overcome these difficulties, I am making my recent articles on mining history and the history of Freemasonry and Fraternity available on this site.
