Many HG users are on limited incomes and benefit from a totally free resource and an online community of like minded people.
Just look at the results of Fossils current survey for a few clues. Many of us can and do subscribe to a range of services. But ideally national archive materials should be accessible when ever possible. I thought we lived in a new age of social inclusion, is this not yet another aspect that needs to be considered if we are to be a socially inclusive society.
Scran offers free membership to all schools, teachers and public libraries, why not widen its free membership policy and encourage many more users of there services. This could also be an extremely useful way for the charity to increase its friends base and perhaps its ability to fund raise via this new wider membership.
