from Edna - Ottawa


Thought this might interest you all.

The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London (UK) is undertaking an
important project to enhance access to its research collections. The
collections contain over 2 million archival items and complement the
holdings of the National Archive by supporting journeys of discovery across
a range of subjects, from the big histories of exploration and empire to the
personal histories of millions of ordinary people whose lives were touched
by the sea.

As a family historian, the Museum would like to hear your thoughts on how
they can develop access to their archival collections to meet your needs.
They are very interested in hearing from both people who have used their
facilities before, and those who have not.

Please follow the link below to find out more about the proposed
developments.

possible.
