But it may be a while.  We have several more nineteenth century tartan books to photograph and upload first.  But eventually, it will be available on our site, as well.  In the meantime, if anyone wants to come to Franklin and make an appointment....  For some, Vancouver may make for a shorter journey and that's where my copy is presently kept. White cotton gloves and a ThistleDown reservation required.
