Nicholas Salmon

The William Morris Internet Archive is dedicated to Nick Salmon in appreciation for all the work he did in transcribing and providing all the documents marked with a *.

Not all the material transcribed by Nick has yet been added to this site, but it all will be in time, and when this has been completed this archive will contain virtually all written material from William Morris that was published in his lifetime.

There is an obituary for Nick, written by Peter Faulkner for the Independant.
