Records dating from the late 19th century have been damaged by a flood at a government-run historical archive. The damage to documents, which include marriage and death certificates, occurred on Tuesday last week at the National Records of Scotland on Princes Street, Edinburgh, after hours of torrential rain. Former employees said that the dome at the back of the building had been leaking for many years but had not been repaired. Checks carried out since the damage occurred revealed that reports of the leaks had not been passed to the relevant department, according to *The Scotsman*. http://bit.ly/2KmvsWA http://bit.ly/2KmvsWA+ <http://bit.ly/2KmvsWA> -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org “If only there were a massive entity that I were forced to fund to tell me how I should live my life, since I’m so obviously incapable of deciding for myself.” M.
