FFHS-NEWS Changes at The National Archives

[News from the Federation of Family History Societies]

Two announcements from TNA today – (a) car park charges to apply from 27
April; (b) from Monday, 19 April 2010 a new online process to order copies
of documents that are not already downloadable from TNA’s website.

 

Car park charges

There will be flat-rate charge of £5 per day. Annual pre-pay tickets,
offering a substantial discount, will also be available. Visitors who drive
to The National Archives without having booked and paid for a space will not
be able to access the car park. Full details can be found from
www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/446.htm.

 

Copies of documents

This new streamlined service will provide an instant quote based on the
average cost of copying similar documents and means customers will no longer
have to wait ten days for a quote. As some documents can contain hundreds
of pages, where a customer does not know which pages within a document they
need copies of, a search fee of £45 will be introduced to recover the cost
of searching for the information. The full announcement can be seen at
www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/445.htm.
