Message re Times Archive from Beds libraries
Just had an email from Bedforshire libraries. I have enjoyed looking at the Times Archive - its sad they can't do it any more, specially since all my father's side of the family lived in Bedfordshire from 1690 until 1960! I guess I'll have to find another route. Can you do it from any library - eg one here in Carlisle? I never bothered to find out because it was so easy to go via Bedford online :p
