It is difficult to say whether Woolf stopped her regular visits (archival records don’t show attendance) or simply she stopped recording them. Virginia loved visiting the British Museum, a place that transmitted her “a whole state of mind” (Woolf 1977-1984, III, 321); however, other libraries offered different services or more specialised collections, so it is possible that, for the last decade of her life, Virginia preferred to do her professional research in the London Library or the Women’s Service Library instead. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Californian FB",serif'>Enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Californian FB",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Californian FB",serif'>Danell<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Californian FB",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
