:::: {{u|Pigsonthewing}}, I almost put in an ILL request, but then realized that the Boston copy is "Not loanable." (It looks like the British Library has one or two copies, though a loan from there would also be unlikely. {{OCLC|559550034|752740531}}) But the work is cited in [https://books.google.com/books?id=4y0LAAAAIAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&pg=PA29 a book] (n.18) by [[Tammy M. Proctor]] ([https://history.usu.edu/faculty/faculty-directory/tammy-proctor contact info]), and [https://books.google.com/books?id=m1qHDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA159 another] (n.4) by John C. Mitcham ([https://www.duq.edu/academics/faculty/john-c-mitcham contact info]). Admittedly the odds aren't great, but perhaps you could try reaching out to them, and see how they came about it. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 05:52, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

::::: {{u|Pigsonthewing}}, I see the copy on eBay sold. I don't suppose you were the one who picked it up? --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 19:30, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

:::::: No; like I said, it was a silly price. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 11:56, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

::::::: Fair enough, I just figured that sometimes people do silly things. Here's [http://dlibra.biblioteka.tarnow.pl/Content/706/sk_48_04.pdf a 2017 article] that takes extensively from the book, including a number of photographs. It's written by Marek Popiel, who is the editor-in-chief of the magazine ([https://skaut.tarnow.pl/redakcja source]). {{u|Pigsonthewing}}, If I were you, I would reach out via the first email on the magazine's [https://skaut.tarnow.pl/kontakt contact page]; it's a recent article and has clearly digitized part of the ''Boy Scouts and What They Do'' book, so he may well have a scanned copy. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 14:48, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

:::{{re|Buidhe|Pigsonthewing}} Late last week, my librarian's archivist contacted Boston University's archivist; although they aren't willing to loan the book, they asked me to fill out a couple of forms requesting permission to access the archive and an electronic scan of the book.

== Needs access to newspaperarchive.com: Specifically for the Jamaica Gleaner ==

<!-- Brief citation of the requested materials. -->

Sorry but my access has expired and I am waiting on it to be reactivated. But I'm in the middle of writing a piece and need some articles, the problem is I am not sure which, because I cannot see them. What I know is that in 1962 Jamaican women did not have individual nationality. I know that they did have individual nationality by 1998. So searching nationality in that time frame, I come up with 3 articles that might help, but I cannot go to an article, only a page. [https://newspaperarchive.com/kingston-gleaner-aug-30-1982-p-8/ This] one says "The child of unmarried parents is entitled to the nationality of his mother, but so of his father" in the snippet, so possibly it is for the article "Are Our Children Equal?", but I am unsure. [https://newspaperarchive.com/kingston-gleaner-aug-13-1983-p-6/ This] one says "Dual citizenship is allowed in respect of certain" in the snippet, so I am guessing "Jamaican Citizenship". And finally [https://newspaperarchive.com/kingston-gleaner-apr-04-1988-p-30/ This] one says a law change is in the making. Can anyone help with these?

<!-- Wikipedia articles being improved. -->

For [[Jamaican nationality law]]

: {{ping|SusunW}} I've clipped all three articles:

:*[https://newspaperarchive.com/other-articles-clipping-aug-30-1982-2372040/ First article]

:*[https://newspaperarchive.com/other-articles-clipping-aug-13-1983-2372045/ Second article]

:*[https://newspaperarchive.com/other-articles-clipping-apr-04-1988-2372054/ Third article (page 1)] and [https://newspaperarchive.com/other-articles-clipping-apr-04-1988-2372059/ third article (page 2)]

::Thank you so much {{u|Bruce1ee}}. I'm going to leave it open for just a bit to read these and see if they answer my questions. [[User:SusunW|SusunW]] ([[User talk:SusunW|talk]]) 15:03, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

:::{{u|Bruce1ee}}, haven't found the date yet, but these have great information. Thank you so much. Could you clip two more? [https://newspaperarchive.com/kingston-gleaner-aug-24-1990-p-17/ This] and [https://newspaperarchive.com/kingston-gleaner-jun-25-1993-p-48/ This]? [[User:SusunW|SusunW]] ([[User talk:SusunW|talk]]) 15:16, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

:::: {{ping|SusunW}} I'm not sure which articles you're after on those two pages, but I think it may be [https://newspaperarchive.com/other-articles-clipping-aug-24-1990-2372135/ this] and [https://newspaperarchive.com/other-articles-clipping-jun-25-1993-2372137/ this]. If you need more, just shout. —[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]]^{[[User talk:Bruce1ee|''talk'']]} 15:32, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

:::: {{u|Bruce1ee}} I truly appreciate your patience. Still not the date I need. Let's try [https://newspaperarchive.com/kingston-gleaner-mar-05-1993-p-1/ this one]. The snippet phrase is "Nationality (Amendment) Act, 1993, the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act, 1993". Looking for a needle within a haystack requires perseverance and help from friends. Thanks! [[User:SusunW|SusunW]] ([[User talk:SusunW|talk]]) 15:42, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

::::: {{ping|SusunW}} [https://newspaperarchive.com/other-articles-clipping-mar-05-1993-2372171/ Here it is]. I don't know if it's got what you're after. If not, I'm happy to keep clipping! —[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]]^{[[User talk:Bruce1ee|''talk'']]} 15:55, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

::::::{{u|Bruce1ee}} Thank you so very much! I think this is it! None of the other clippings indicate a legal change actually took place, so as this one says the Nationality Amendment passed in 1993 I think I have my date. Now just to see if I can find a version of the law at that point in time to confirm. Totally appreciate all of your help! {{tl|resolved}} [[User:SusunW|SusunW]] ([[User talk:SusunW|talk]]) 15:59, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
