Probably, and also, many a year ago (more than a decade, in fact) I did do some research at the British Library, and not only did you have to describe your reason for wanting to see one of the handwritten manuscripts, but I also realised I suck ad decyphering what in this case was a mid 19th century diary written by a Scottish painter. Now I could claim to do research on Peter Keith, but I still would need at least half a day, if not more, for the the library visit, and I just don't have that at my disposal.
