So I can help look up things from time to time. Just to let you guys know, it turns out that I do have access to the papers through my university library.

I may have to log on tomorrow and run through whatever I can get before they start charging for it. BTW, I have a reader's card at the Library of Congress and can get there easily enough (about a half hour train ride). The next time I'm there, I'll check and see if they subscribe to this. If so, I may be able to help people out with research. No promises yet though. I’m a bit wary, but this looks interesting.

My university has subscription to other Gale publications, so we'll see.

I just tried and my mac couldn't find an application to open the downloaded file.

They've been working on this for quite a while and it's going to be incredibly helpful. Unfortunately, also very expensive. Last time I checked, it was outside the University of Nottingham's library's budget. And they subscribe to all sorts of wonderful stuff. So I was pretty disappointed to find out that a - the papers would be published after I submitted my thesis/dissertation and b- that I still wouldn't be able to access them through the university. It is possible that Gale/Cengage has changed the pricing structure since last year... I've been using the IHR site British History online which has several chunks of state papers available. Yearly individual subscription around $50. I'm not that happy about how the searching and the referencing works but it's been very useful nevertheless. This is the Galenet site.
