Hello,
My name is Justin. I'm a graduate student at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and have just begun researching Jack the Ripper for my thesis paper. I do not know much about the topic other than the basic details. I am currently reading the Complete History of Jack the Ripper by Philip Sudgen and have a few others books waiting for me to crack open (The Complete Jack the Ripper by Donald Rumbelow, Jack the Ripper: The Uncensored Facts by Paul Begg, and The Jack the Ripper A to Z). I had a question about some of the original documents. I requested quotes from the National Archives for the MEPO and HO files, but they quoted each one at a hundred dollars or more. I live in America, so there is no way for me to get to the archives myself (at least not anytime soon). I was curious if anyone knew where I could find the digital copies - either for free or cheaper. I'm a student so funds are limited.
If anyone knows where I can find copies of these documents online or can forward them to me, then please let me know. Other than that, I am happy to be here and ready to learn. I probably won't post too often at first. I need to dive deeper into the material first.
Thanks,
- Justin
