Websites of the week

There are several email newsletters which I find useful at work and are also read with pleasure.
The first is The National Archives newsletter which comes out once a month with details of releases of new records, books and a pleasing number of puffs for Ancestors Magazine. You can subscribe at http://www.ionmx.com/FormServer/?F=F011258F15899
The Federation of Family History Societies publishes a bi-monthly e-zine which contains brief news items about what is going on in the Federation and the world of British Genealogy in general with details of forthcoming events. Details at http://www.ffhs.org.uk/ezine/intro.php
London’s Guildhall Library produces a quarterly newsletter full of news about the Library and its holdings with informative short articles about recently accessioned or catalogued records. If you are researching ancestors in the Metropolis or regularly use Guildhall Library or other London archives it is worth signing up – email manuscripts.guildhall@corpoflondon.gov.uk or visit http://www.history.ac.uk/gh/news98.htm
Two of Ancestors Magazine’s authors, Roy and Lesley Adkins, produce an occasional delightful newsletter about life in Nelson’s life, research into memorials they have come across, developments in archaeology and anything else historically that takes their fancy. You can download back copies or subscribe at http://www.adkinsarchaeology.com/newsletter.aspx
