"Asking for the price of the Digital archive for Journal of Navigation,
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=NAV

this is the answer:

The digital archive for Journal of Navigation runs from Volume 1 in 1947
until Volume 50 in 1997. The journal is usually included as a part of
our Earth & Atmospheric Sciences archive package; however it is
available to individual subscribers alone for the price of 2,000 GBP.  "

======================================

Comment from George-

That is indeed absurd.

Isn't Andres a RIN member, as I am?

RIN are intending to offer the complete back archive of "The Journal of
Navigation", from 1948, free to members, and I have tried it once today and
it has given me what I asked for. But on another occasion, today, the link
from the RIN website led me to different page at Cambridge online journals
that did not provide the free access that it should have done. So I suspect
there is a technical problem that needs fixing, and I have informed the RIN
office about it.

That is little help to any non-member who may be keen to search out pages
from "Journal of Navigation" articles: these provide a rich resource of
great interest to Navlist members. But one-off copies of an article will
cost something like $30.

RIN were producing a DVD with the complete archive up to 2005, and I have a
copy, but with the supposed on-line availability of the archive (to
members), have now dropped it. To supplement that DVD, I have hard-copy of
more recent issues.

If anyone wishes to read a reference to a Journal of Navigation article for
research, then they may well find me cooperative, as long as the article
can be readily identified. Just ask directly, to george-at-hux.me.uk , and
provide an email address. I'm talking about one-to-one, rather than public
attachments or links.

It's something that has worked both ways. I've been grateful, in the past,
to members of the US Institute of Navigation, who have kindly provided
copies of papers published in their journal, "Navigation" .

Yours, George.
