Very well explained. Pace was good. Not too fast. A useful video for an archives student. Only comment is that Mr Smith's accent ( sorry) lends to making it sort of muffled when it comes to understanding words and sentences. I had to reply many sections many times and turn the volume up extra high just to catch what he was saying. It was sort of mumbled in some areas. Thank you for this video. ncb.
