Notes
Paywalled. Lineage never fetches it, by API or page, and never asks for a person's password. A plan node naming it is a lead: the record set and a link for the person to open with their own subscription, or a letter to the holding archive for the original. Fold3 holds browsable copies of M804, M881 and M246; Lineage reads the same series from the National Archives (nara-m804, nara-m881, nara-m246). robots.txt disallows /search, /image and /file.
