Members may be interested in the 'Your Archives' initiative which has been set up by the National Archives. http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Home_page This is a 'wiki' based initiative, allowing registered users to submit and amend articles according to their knowledge, or access to records. A couple of areas which are expanding rapidly are: - Users submissions of transcripts of PCC wills, which have usually been obtained via documents online, another of the National Archives initiatives, which you may be aware of. - A series of articles on the records available for individual Royal Navy Ships of the 18century - Addition of all the census street indexes held by TNA, those for 1851 are well advanced, and 1841 has started. Some examples of street indexes are: http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Place:Sunderland _Registration_District%2C_1851_Census_Street_Index Articles/pages can easily be created, and need not necessarily be highly polished, as collaboration is one of the keys (as with Wikipedia). I have added a number of transcripts of wills, extracts from chancery cases, and have started to add some small pages (to be expanded) on some of the more obscure place names within Longbenton parish which occur on the 1851 street index. Eg http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Place:William_Pi t%2C_Longbenton%2C_Northumberland As well as being able to use this as a source of information, please consider submitting pages, and thus sharing some of your valuable local information. For anyone interested in contributing, there are help pages to assist, but if I can answer any questions I would be happy to do so if I can. Dave
