I was wondering if anyone has an answer to a question I have. There were some articles which appeared in the Orcadian and/or the Orkney Herald about my family and I'd like to have copies of them. Should I write directly to the Orcadian (I have approximate dates) or would it be better to go through the Kirkwall Library? Also, where would I get copies of anything that might have appeared in The Orkney Herald?
