I read it while I was doing research to pass the CRM.  There was a timeline associated with it but I don't remember the website and didn't bookmark it because it wasn't relevant to my research. 

Less seriously, in may have been personal experience too, if there is any validity to past lives, I'm sure I would have been associated with an institution that contained records or books like a monastery or a library.

Subject: Re: [RM] Friday question I am pondering on.

Did you read that somewhere or personal experience?

"It wasn't until Medieval times that lending books became commonplace. Before that you could do research in the library, or you could copy text from an existing library work on site.  Books, scrolls and codex were too precious to lend out.  By Medieval times there were sufficient literate wealthy people that monastic libraries were willing to lend books, etc, because they expected that the person borrowing the book would most certainly copy it for their own collection while it was on loan.  The printing press, when it came into wide use, also encouraged libraries to establish lending programs."

Seriously some good links and info.  It would be interesting to put a timeline together with RM related activities such as you describe.
