Hello Jill How right yo are, my visits and connection with TNA have been through the web. A personal visit may have changed my experience with TNA. However, like the Glamorgan Archives (who cannot be bothered to run an adequate web based service), I have found them too insular and interested only in their own outdated methods of recording and preserving records.

Ah then Gareth, you have the better of me there as I don't actually know anything much about the conservation and preservation of records. Have you worked as an archivist then? How interesting.
