The advantages of being officially connected with the second greatest
university in the world.

I too can't compete with Fred from home, where all I have access to
is series 1 via a paid but moderate cost membership in the New
England Historic Genealogical Society.  (They tell me subscribing to
additional serieses is expensive.)  But fortunately I have enough
affiliation to be able to enter the hallowed libraries of the first
greatest university in the world.
