I left my original message short because I thought naively that subscribers
would understand the serious motive behind my message. I have written
personally to those who responded to the list.
The archives-nra list is intended as a support to archive professionals,
mainly in the UK. Sending newspaper websites would only helped us to
'watch' the news. As we realised how serious the situation was yesterday
afternoon, our immediate needs as archive professionals and citizens was to
find useful information about friends, family and colleagues who might be
involved, even researchers using a record office who might need immediate
information.

welcome useful information on the discussion list
