<p>Amanda, David and Amy will be speaking about how new technologies are
 revolutionising access to government information. They will describe 
how The National Archives are using techniques of geo-referencing, 
map-based searching and improved taxonomies to provide much better

hugely significant resources for people researching contemporary issues:
