Yesterday the National Archives released new files from the Security Service spanning the Second World War and post-war eras http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/613.htm Radio Oxford featured a fascinating pair of interviews, one with Dr Ed Hampshire, Principal Records Specialist, Diplomatic and Colonial Records at The National Archives, talking about the releases, and the other by Tony Hadland, Vice-Chairman & Editor of Oxfordshire FHS. Tony discussed the Oxfordshire relevance of some of the data, and its links to family history, and went on to talk about the balance between private and family records with examples from his own family history. You can hear the program on "listen again" at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00jn8j0 It's a three hour programme, with the relevant interviews starting at 2hrs 7mins in - so slide the time cursor along to two thirds of the way across, and then look at the time count to tweak where you are timewise.
