Huzzah! \o/ I've never really liked the idea of such historically important things to go to private collectors, tbh. Things like this should belong to the public, as well as have more access to protection so they can last even longer.

THIS BELONGS IN A MUSE... Wait, it's actually going to a museum?

Hurrah!

I'm kind of absurdly happy that the papers are going to Bletchley Park, for no good reason. I didn't even know this was a thing and now the problem has been solved anyway! Hurrah! Instant gratification!
