Elias Kupfermann started his historical research aged nine years when he visited his local town library to look at Victorian editions of the local newspaper. Since then he has not looked back and now has over 25 years of professional experience in archival research. With the advent of the microfilm reader and scanning equipment, the original Victorian papers have now  become part of Elias's own extensive  research library.
