It does seem as if someone cut and pasted our catalogue description of the Colville collection into this Wikipedia entry. However, now that we (Churchill Archives Centre) have ventured into the world of Wikipedia ourselves -- attempting to contribute to the articles which relate to material we house in the archives -- may I just add that it is fine for Wikipedia users to use our catalogues as a source of information. And though I do say so myself, they are a fairly decent source since they are based upon the actual papers of the individuals whom they describe. Of course, it is ideal if users rewrite things to better suit the style of Wikipedia, since catalogue writing is markedly different.
