CAMPAIGN TO SAVE TOWER HAMLETS LOCAL HISTORY LIBRARY & ARCHIVE AT BANCROFT
ROAD

The Federation of Family History Societies endorses the objectives of this
campaign and wishes to help publicise the means by which attempts are being
made to preserve this valuable resource for future generations.

The campaign is supported by the East London Advertiser and further details
can be found on their website at
<URL:http://www.eastlondonadvertiser.co.uk/content/towerhamlets/advertiser/B
ancroftLibrary/default.aspx>  (If this link becomes split over two lines and
will not work, copy and paste the whole URL  from http to aspx into your
browser.)

More information can be obtained from Tom Ridge at
stepney.history at live.co.uk.   He will send a copy of a recent newsletter
containing useful information and details of a petition they have
organised.  Signatures are required by 8 September at the latest.

There is also a Downing Street petition on the website at
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Bancroft-Road.  The deadline for this petition is
31 August.

Please show your support in any way you can.  If we do not make our voices
heard, we are likely to find more and more resources for research at risk.
