FFHS-NEWS Saturday Closure of National library of Wales

[News from the Federation of Family History Societies]

As I mentioned a few weeks ago at the Federation AGM, I was approaching  
the National Assembly of Wales for permission to launch an online  
petition regarding the Saturday closure of the NLW from the 1st of April  
2009. I appreciate that we all have different experiences of the  
service  provided by the NLW, and I have had my own share since I  
started regularly researching there from the mid 1990's onwards, but I  
would ask you to lay your prejudices aside and sign the petition at  
http://www.assemblywales.org/index.htm under E pettions. You do need to  
register but it is a painless procedure.
One concern that has been raised  about the Saturday closure is that it 
is the thin edge of a wedge to  restrict Free access to Archives in Wales 
let alone the United  Kingdom.

Regards

Nick Davey
ViceChair
