Isle of Man newspaper archives access to remain free

A tip of the hat to US based blogger Dick Eastman for news that the Isle of Man's newspapers archive is to remain permanently available on a free basis. Access to the site at https://www.imuseum.im/newspapers/ was initially made free in mid-April (see http://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2020/04/free-access-to-historic-isle-of-man.html).
