Devastated that the Centre for Lifelong Learning @UniOfYork is being closed after 40 years. What a loss to education in the region. Feel for students and staff. Being a tutor has been joy, doing what universities should be doing by sharing knowledge widely with our communities.

This article gives a fascinating insight into how The National Archives manages to store its ever increasing archive of records. It also explains why it is necessary to store some records offsite. #Well worth a read! #genealogy

Using one of my favourite resources today, the Statistical Accounts of Scotland with wonderful insights into everyday life, language, religion and economy, history and geography of localities 1791-1845. And a healthy dose of social commentary to boot. https://t.co/iW6V3dzeNI
