travel accounts of Russia--addendum

[William Ryan]

Jules, please don't ditch the cards! I can find them a good home. You 
will be pleased to hear that there is a project in hand to publish a 
14-volume annotated edition of Hakluyt's Principal Navigations with the 
Oxford University Press. There is large international editorial team 
involved, the project started after an international conference at the 
National Maritime Museum in 2008 and  is moving ahead well, but any 
extra help we can get, such as your box of cards, will be much 
appreciated by those dealing with the Russian sections. For background 
and details of the project see
