A museum in need

We just got word that the archaeological museum in Elbląg (Poland) has been flooded when water pipes burst. One of their biggest worries is that their library is destroyed. Their book collection was mainly about the Viking Age and especially about the Viking emporium near that city called Truso. Their request, which we fully support, is if you have digital material (articles, reports, books) which you think they could use, anything useful for research on the Viking Age / Early Middle Ages in the Baltic and far around, please use www.wetransfer.com to send it to their director, Dr Marek F. Jagodziński mf.jagodzinski@wp.pl

You don't need to spend money to make a difference for some museum colleagues.
