Use policy for Andrew Roberts' web site

Preservation policy

This resource was first established on the Middlesex University website in April 1999. In May 2007 it was reestablished on its own site (studymore.org.uk) to enable archiving by the UK Web Archiving Consortium. We are in the process of establishing a charitable trust to maintain the resource at the studymore web address beyond the life of its author.
