A few months ago, I posted a short item asking about the library
availability of a certain source, but the replies that I got gave
locations which were too far for someone who lives in Alabama. Since
I have quarter break coming up, and will have the opportunity to make
a short trip, I am going to ask the same question again, hoping that
someone can tell me of a closer library which has the source. The
source is:

Annual Report of the Duputy Keeper of the Public Records, published by
the Public Record Office in the UK.

The volumes I have seen usually have appendices which abstract some of
the records (often from medieval times), and there is a particularly
good set of Cheshire records available from this source, although
other counties are also represented. I have seen the dozen or so
volumes which are available at the Family History Library (and are
available on film at all of the local branch LDS libaraies), and now I
want to see what is available in the other volumes.

So, please, if anyone knows of a library having a good set of these
volumes (large university libraries are probably the most likely
candidates), I would greatly appreciate knowing about their location.
Preferred states would be Alabama (I wish), Georgia (next best),
Mississippi, and Tennessee, but any state bordering one of those would
be good enough for me. (So far, my previous inquiries have only given
locations of New York and Michigan.)

Thank you,
Stewart Baldwin
