Royal Academy of History website

The Royal Spanish Academy looks increasingly amateurish compared to stuff like the Brigham Young integrated corpus, but at least they made a sincere effort to provide functionality. The new Royal Academy of History site,
on the other hand, is a classical Spanish institutional enterprise: glorification of the bureaucrats and their buildings, but no frigging usable material, not even their own publications or a searchable library catalogue. Pillocks!
