Hi Pascal,

Thanks for the Primo-suggestions. One thing I should probably have
added besides some confidential information, the collection will also
be only useful for a small number of scholars working with this
specific collection and not something anyone else would probably be
all that interested in. Thus having the collection in something that
combines it with other collections is not a requirement and might even
be considered an impediment. That said, I'll check out your
suggestions.

Thanks,

Edward
