Are you volunteering then? :D

The archives are already crowded every day. They will be queueing outside as there are only 2 computers. There may be more at GMRO

Great, hope they let the regulars have first refusal as it will be really busy!!

[Rosie Knees]

that's nice, but I don't mind actually PAYING if only they would put it in my Ancestry subs!

This is as well as free access at Kew.

Rosie Knees--absolutly agree with you re Ancestry subs (they charge us enough anyhow-so a few quid more for 1911....)

Tyne Wear Archives - must call and get my ticket! If I have time and access, I would be willing to help - but I must register first.

I have phoned Tyne Wear Archives to find out if it is available yet. The reply is that is will happen in the next couple of weeks. BUT THERE IS A LIMIT TO THE CREDITS which will be given to the Archives, and is likely to be a great deal less than the demand expected by the Archives themselves, It is likely to be a 'come first served sevice', and when the credits are finished, so is the 'free ' service. It is not like Ancestry where all the records are available.

It might be worth checking with the other centres to see if the same system will apply.
