Do you live nearby to these libraries?

Los Angeles County Museum of Art
The British Library, St. Pancras
The British Library, British National Bibliography
University of Rhode Island Library, Kingston
State Library of NSW Dixson Library

I am willing to photograph/copy materials in the Library of Congress if you have a specific item in mind. It would be best if these were out of copyright.

I don't live near either of the British libraries, but I believe I can get this on inter library loan as long as I have a good enough reason.

Tragically, I'm about 1000 miles away from the nearest copy. Can you not request it on Interlibrary Loan? Some places charge money, but you can usually get texts from just about everywhere.

I agree with Bookwrym, try requesting it via ILL. I also live about 45 mins away from University of Rhode Island, so I could probably use ILL through my local library to request it, and if they can't get it, then I could always drive over.

URI's copy is library use only, so if you can't get it via ILL, I'll see about going over some Saturday and photographing it.
