I think you have to be an educational establishment to access this or similar sadly.
@talking heads you can access London Assurance via the Archive as I've done it.

Not sure what you mean by "or similar". Just to be 100% clear, anyone can ask to see an archive item in person. I can't even recall being asked why I wanted to see it. You get your own desk with a large screen and headphones(provided). I did mean to write it up as I really enjoyed my morning and can see myself going back. PS there's an excellent value coffee / food Cafe opposite - but you can't bring it in. |

Yes, anyone can visit the physical archive in person.
This thread is about the online archive, which apparently the public can not access.
Lots of people don’t have access to London, or work full-time so can’t easily visit an archive during business hours.

Yes to confirm I meant digital online is restricted access, anyone can go to the archive if they can access it.

The online archive will be priced for institutional access - I doubt they will have even bothered to set up prices for individual usage. That's how the business model for these archive products work - you want a smallish number of very large customers paying a lot to subscribe or buy it outright for their thousands of students/members to access.
You don't want to be dealing with hundreds of thousands of individual subscribers paying a small sum each.

Well if that's your business model, of course that's what you do.
These archive projects use a different business model than iTunes etc do, because they are aimed at an entirely different market.
It's an educational/research market product, not a mass market entertainment product.

Sadly getting to London of a workday is nigh on impossible hence the glimmer of hope with this online archive. Oh I know, I cam get to look down but it means taking leave and waiting till train prices drop later in day which is why I found myself trying to watch too many things at once and not from start to finish and no allowing myself any breaks. Oh and don't go in extreme weather, I went up once in bad storm and no one from the office had made it in so it was shut and then i got stuck in London. Happy times. |
