How To Get "The Wimsey Papers": Two Easy Ways

The Wimsey Papers may be obtained from the Archivist of the DLS Society, Bunty Parkinson. Her address is:

Bunty Parkinson
5 Marchants Close
Hurstpierpoint
West Sussex, BN6 9XB
England
Tel. +44(0)1273833369

They prefer that you write and ask for the papers, which they will then photocopy and send to you along with the bill. They had been billing for $3.50 for photocopying and mailing, but lately the price appears to have gone up to $5.00.

I believe that they only copy the papers for members of the DLS Society. The Membership Secretary is Lenelle Davis. Her address is:

Lenelle Davis
6 Constantius Court
Brandon Road, Church Crookham
Fleet, Hampshire, GU13OYF
England

Membership is $28 per year, running from January 1 through December 31. They pro-rate the amount if one joins in the middle of the year.

Inter-Library Loan (ILL) Information:

The OCLC # is 1766325
Title: The Spectator
Article: Sayers, The Wimsey Papers
 
I did 3 separate requests:
1) Vol: 163; Date: Nov 1939, Pages: 672-4, 736-7
2) Vol: 163; Date: Dec 1939; Pages: 770-1, 809-10, 859-60, 894-5, 925-6
3) Vol. 164; Date: Jan 1940; Pages: 8-9, 38-9, 70-1, 104-5

It is considered "fair use" to make a set of photocopies for your personal use.

Note: I don't know if ILL is the term used outside of the United States for obtaining information from libraries other than one's own, but all the publication information, obviously, does not change.
