So far, we have been discussing museums that do not allow visitors to take photos, claiming that there can be copyright on objects that were made two millenniums ago. We are not the only ones who are surprised about this obstruction of the cause of research, and Roger Pearse (webmaster of the the Tertullian Project) has created a satirical prize for institutions that make it difficult to study things: the Bloodsucker Award. The John Rylands Library in Manchester is the first winner of the prestigeous new award. :twisted:
