With this in mind, museums of writing and research centres devoted to the development of human communications and literacy are beginning to emerge around the world. British National Collections have also taken up the cause. By their nature, these major national holdings cannot offer the scope and flexibility for public study and research that can be provided by a centre specialising in the written word.
