Mackintosh's diaries[edit]

I quote the article: "Mackintosh's own expedition diaries, which cover the period up to 30 September 1915, have not been published; they are held by the Scott Polar Research Institute. The two main sources available to Ross Sea party historians are Joyce's diaries, published in 1929 as The South Polar Trail, and the account of Dick Richards: The Ross Sea Shore Party 1914–17."

Really? Surely what is actually meant is that the two main sources available to Ross Sea party buffs (or common readers, amateurs, what you will) are the Joyce and Richards diaries. If the Mackintosh material is held by something called the Scott Polar Research Institute then surely it is subject to examination by any serious historian who properly applies. 69.108.230.174 (talk) 01:56, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
