Thanks for the information. Do you know if I need to register to gain access to the records or book time there? And, although I don't want to turn this wonderful site into an advertising board, is there a hotel near to the records office? I live in Spain and I don't think that I will get the opportunity to visit the Isle of Man again in the considerable future and want to make the most of my time.

Just thought, do you know if it possible to use a lap top in the museum? Thanks, Diane
