[News from the Federation of Family History Societies]

Thank you to Ben Sanderson for sending me the following notification:

 

The British Library's Newspaper Moves strategy

Thursday 13 October, 10.30 - 12.00, St Pancras

 

In 2013 the British Library's hard copy newspaper collections are scheduled
to move

from the current Colindale site to a planned Newspaper Storage Building at
Boston Spa

in West Yorkshire. Future access to the newspaper collection will be via
microfilm and

digitised copies in a dedicated Newspaper Reading Room at St Pancras.

Join us for a workshop to provide you with an update on the progress made by

the Newspaper Moves strategy, along with a preview of the service currently
being

developed for St Pancras.

 

As a regular user of the newspaper collections, this session will give you
the

opportunity to give us feedback on the strategy, to help us manage the
transition

as smoothly as possible and help users adapt to access arrangements in the
future.

 

If you would like to attend this session please RSVP to natasha.green at bl.uk.
