FFHS-NEWS Plymouth & West Devon Record Office (PWDRO) - the ongoing saga

[News from the Federation of Family History Societies]

"The boss of Plymouth's museum has snubbed historians and archivists
representing about 40 organisations from Plymouth and the rest of the South
West, writes Political Reporter Keith Rossiter."  So begins the article in
The Herald reporting on the meeting held on 27 November to discuss the
threat to Plymouth's ancient archives, which are housed in a sub-standard
temporary building on an industrial estate.  The historians vowed to launch
a national campaign to shame the council after Nicola Moyle, curator of the
City Museum and Art Gallery, failed to turn up at the meeting in the
Spurgeon Hall, Mutley Plain.  The following link will take you to the full
article where you can also leave comments.
