Since Cambridge’s Lent term is rapidly drawing to an end, it may be worth reminding everyone that for this term only readers are allowed to take cameras into the University Library for fairly unrestricted use in Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Maps (http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/deptserv/maps/photog.html). We hope that this pioneering experiment will prove successful and that the freedom to photograph for research purposes will be made permanent. And that it will become a model for rare books libraries and archives that currently restrict digital photography.
