The Provided link is not working right now(www.archiveshub.ac.uk/tour/index.html), so I have to use the web search for the Archives hub(https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/). There I searched for the tour mentioned in the question but there were no such options in the search results. I found the Unity Theatre Collection but there were Three entries but the given code was mentioned in the first entry(GB0394UNITY). The Web shows a map to locate the Place of the collection. By clicking on the collection we find the page where the information is given.
Then see if you can answer the following questions:
Where exactly is the Unity Theatre’s archive located?
Location - Labour History Archive and Study Centre

4 boxes and 3 oversized scrap books
How much shelf space does it occupy?

Where are the Unity Theatre’s ephemera and photographs held?
Unity Theatre ephemera and photographs are also held by the People's History Museum in Manchester.
10 Utilising the search facilities available on the ARCHON website (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/archon)
The website link (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/archon) redirected me to the site (https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/find-an-archive/) the website ARCHON has became The National Archives (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/)
See if you can identify exactly how many items relating to Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–92) are currently held in the special collections archive of Indiana University’s Lilly Library in Indiana, USA.
In The National Archives website through Discovery option I was able to locate the collection ‘Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–92)’ and the Catalogue description was Papers.
For the further information i had to search the Lilly Library through Libraries Indiana University Bloomington (https://libraries.indiana.edu/lilly-library) and for the information of the mentioned collection have to search in Archives Online (https://archives.iu.edu/) of the Indiana University Website.
Here i was able to find the collection ‘Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–92)’ which was under the collection ‘Parodies : a collection of several hundred ridiculous rhymes in imitation of known authors and their works, [ca. 1850-1950]’
The collection ‘Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–92)’ contains 7 Boxes, 45 Items and 21 envelopes.
11 Using the ‘Making of America Books’ website at the University of Michigan, http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text- idx?page=simple&c=moa,
- The Link was working and i was directed to the ‘Making of America Book’ Digital Collection
search for the Edith Wharton short story ‘The Pelican’, which was published in Scribner’s Magazine, vol. 24, November 1898, pp. 620–9.
From the Search There were 312 Results but ‘The Pelican’ was not in there
So, i went for Advanced Search by adding author name but still there were 0 matches
I went to the home page and there was option of Title, Author and Subject wise search
Title wise i Search for TH - there were 72 Results but the mentioned Work was not there
Author wise i Search for WH- (100 Results) but still there was no author with name Edith Wharton (Wharton, Edith - as per the search)
Once you have located this story, either print it off or electronically download the text.
