I am trying to find where I can get a list of the names of the girls who were debutantes in the 1930s and despite having googled, and googled again have been unsuccessful. Any suggsetions please?
Thank you. I did have access to the Times on line archives through a local lbrary but access has now been removed because they were contravening something or other. Does anyone know how else you can gain access please?
Oh isn't that a pain, I haven't needed to access Times online for a while and now I'm shut out too.
Does that mean we have to personally attend the Library in order to join and then be able to access everything as before online?
As was explained a while ago, various local libraries (Bedfordshire in particular) found they were contravening the conditions of their Infotrac licence by offering membership to non-residents. So you have to join the library for your local area and hope that they offer Infotrac access. To prove local residence you'll probably have to produce your Council Tax bill or something similar.
I've got it in Milton Keynes and I joined online at Bedford not knowing! Not sure what to search under for Debutants but suggestions welcome! I am looking for a list of names from the early 1930s.
I have been a member of my County Library for 33 years. Recently they changed all the library cards and I had to take in:
Passport or photo driving licence AND two utility bills not more than a month old!
I grumbled, they apologised and we came to the conclusion that I had had a pretty good run for my money if I turn out to be an illegal immigrant, or have been popping into the (Cornish) library twice a week from Scotland and borrowing books.
Fill in registration with a name, email address, International in drop down field and type NONE in all the other fields, click on register and you are in
If it is only for a short time I'll hold off registering until I really need it and not use it for idly browsing as I'm apt to do. Don't want to waste the opportunity
You have to "change databases" (see towards the top right of the screen) to find your way to the TDA, but your Herts Library membership does give you access.
I haven't found a way to the new selection of C19th papers yet.
