#writersCoffeeClub 9/28: Could you work without the internet? What would change?
Do you mean like I did before the Internet? I'd be a regular at the library again.
And yes, younglings, I realise I just made myself sound ancient.

@nemorosa@mastodon.nu I definitely couldn’t. When I started research on a book about 1916 I spent hours getting my grandparents’ and a couple of others’ birth, marriage and death certificates. With the internet (and Irish government generosity) I now have thousands. If I were in other countries not so, though - they monetise these records #research #internet
