Forgive me if you've already heard about this. I hadn't, and maybe others would be interested, too. Minimum stands for Musical Instruments Interface for Museums and Collections. It's a virtual museum of historic instruments, or rather a gateway to 200 separate collections across the UK, many of which never previously accessible to the public. Definitely worth a look. It is here:

It does indeed look fascinating...sadly at the moment I am having great difficulty managing to open any of the items on the front page. Am I alone in this?Last edited by MickyD; 25-11-17, 21:27.Comment

No, you're not - clicking on any of the first page "links" leads to a very long wait for the "article" to load. It does - eventually - do so; but it's takes nearly a minute to appear....sadly at the moment I am having great difficulty managing to open any of the items on the front page.

Excellent link, my thanks too CB.
Loading nice and quickly on my laptop.
This might be a contender for the much revered Reference Library ?
And it prompts me to mention that anybody who hasn't been to the Museum of Musical Intsruments in Brussels, and finds themselves in that neck of the woods, would do themselves a big favour by popping in. It really is terrific.
( Although they are a bit over supplied with serpents, IMHO......)
And easy to get to by train.
I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
