Does anyone have access to the JSTOR archive and could get me this article about the Ashmolean Museum? It's just out of personal interest.

About twelve years about I quit my job and backpacked around the UK for a while. One of my favourite places was a museum which I remember as being about a block away from the British Museum, for some reason, but now I'm thinking it was Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.

It was a large old building with a second floor that was like, balconies that ran all around the sides, so you could look over the edge at the ground floor and it was CHOCKA with what seemed to be some mad old gentleman’s collection of everything he could carry away from the colonies. There were glass cases full of shrunken heads, beads, wall displays full of spears, headdresses etc. And all this stuff was just crammed together. It was AWESOME.

If it was the Ashmolean, it doesn't look like that now. I can't help thinking that's a shame.

and do you have a gmail account? It's probably a bit big to go to a standard email address.

iinet's pretty good - you could try?

Otherwise I'll set up a gmail account at lunchtime - when I'm not industriously working hard. *cough* No, I am!

Thank you so much :)

I'll try iinet then. I'll be at FP at lunchtime as well, so you could just wander down and collect a version on a USB.
