[edit] Hillard Library
No Google hits for "Hillard Library Snape. Speedy Delete as hoax vandalism from a known hoaxer. Pilatus 16:25, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep but edit - Although he does seem to have a history of this sort of thing, I think user ‘Archibald Wednesday’ has actually written a genuine article here, although it perhaps needs a little revising to make it more accurate. The ‘Hillard Library’ isn’t really a library in the sense of a building, but a private collection of medieval texts actually kept in Buxlow Manor, which is closest to Snape in its postal address. The only reason I know of it is from an article I remember in the local newspaper from when I lived in Suffolk, where the British Museum were pushing for the texts to be released to the general public. I assume it was then opened to the public, although I’m surprised that there is nothing on Google about it. Perhaps they want to keep it quiet! Have you tried any of the other search engines? - Charles Bingham 10:54, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

- Keep per TZTS, but I believe it was actually the British Library, not the British Museum who were interested in the Hillard Library. Milord, 11:28, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep The British Library was part of the British Museum until 1973, so which institution wanted to have access to the library depends on date. Graehem22 17:46, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
