This would probably be allowed if you're an established scholar, but I'm not sure how people like me could pull that off. And then you'd need a massive amount of luck.Well, after my Milan trip I hope to have a clearer idea of what is and is not possible or easy to do as archival research. I know of some documents that I would like to see and I will certainly be consulting the archivists there to seek their advice as to other documents that I should look at. Maybe then I can share my experience. I appreciate that most Voynich researchers have no experience doing archival research and so it must probably be quite strange and daunting to them. I must admit that one reason that I am visiting the Milan archives and not the Vatican archives on this trip is that I would like to be more confident doing archival research before tackling the Vatican Apostolic Archives. In my cipher research I have noticed that only relying on material that has been digitised or is available in books seriously limits one.
