There seems to have been absolute silence on this point. Am a right in thinking that Essex was one of the first county record offices - certainly one on which many others were based? Have Resource (surely Vic Gray is interested), NAC and the National Archives responded in any way? Is there any kind of campaign or has the archive/local history community decided that there is no need to have someone senior in this position? Or, is everyone on holiday?
