Nine of eleven weeks are spent waiting rather than working
The waiting
Three weeks for document production, four for a reading room appointment, and two for a photograph order. All standard and none avoidable.
The working
About eight days spread across the eleven weeks. Reading, transcribing, and writing, in roughly that proportion.
What would speed it up
Nothing available to me. Faster access is possible for institutional researchers and I am not one, which is a real constraint.
