I did actually see the stuff (well, the boxes, anyway) in 1995 where it was temporarily stored under the stairs in a house in Knaresborough. Someone says in his PhD thesis that he looked at it in a museum (probably best not to say which on here), which is good corroboration that it actually was archived, but they seem to have lost track of it, possibly as a result of it being leant to someone else many moons ago...then again most of the old archives from that project (from various contractors) seem to have been 'mislaid' by the receiving institutions... I was however quite amused to discover that one or two of the 'lost' and 'unlocateable' items were hidden in plain sight in museum display cases
