Does anyone know how to get permalinks to items in the British Museum online catalog to work? They seem to instantly go dead unless you use the search function to find the item again. Very problematic for putting a link in a bibliography or even taking notes.

Seems to be a little strange, clicking the link button at the bottom left worked for me. For some reason copying the url from url bar didn't work even those it's the same url. See if this works for you (that's copied from the link button): www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...
