Posted on behalf of the chair of the British Records Association: “The British Records Association (“Working for Archives”) continues vigorously to take forward advocacy for the archives sector in the face of current financial stringencies threatening service provision both by local authorities and in the academic world. Letters of protest have been sent to the Principal of King’s College, London, and to the Head of the School of Arts and Humanities there, as part of the ongoing efforts to protect the Chair of Palaeography at the College. The BRA has also contacted key figures in the London Boroughs of Camden and Redbridge expressing concern about the draconian cuts now being considered for archives and local studies in their library services.” Bob Roberts Chairman British Records Association c/o Finsbury Library 245 St John Street London EC1V 4NB T: 020 7833 0428 E: [log in to unmask] Contact the list owner for assistance at [log in to unmask] For information about joining, leaving and suspending mail (eg during a holiday) see the list website at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=archives-nra
