I think these can be sent to you for a small fee. Alternatively, it may be possible for someone here to visit in person for you and get a copy for a lot less. Any visitors would need to request this document one week in advance since there are photographed only on request. You might get lucky and find this one has laready been digitised, but it is best to order in advance.
