I'd be grateful if colleagues, particularly in the North West, could bring this
free (and Archives-Awareness linked) LUCAS event to the attention of users.
Archivists are most welcome to attend as well of course!!
A colour poster is downloadable from http://www.liv.ac.uk/lucas/ or if you
contact me I'll put one in the post
Thanks
Margaret Procter
