Anyone going to Somerset Archives please?

[las camelias]

I wonder if anyone going to the archives in the near future and would do me a big fat favour?

I need a copy of an article (if one exists) of the dedication of Semley (Wiltshire) War Memorial to complete my project for the Wiltshire OPC website.  I think the chances are that if there is an article, it will be in the Wiltshire edition of the Western Gazette (held at Taunton).  I have various receipts for the war memorial all of which indicate that it was erected and dedicated in February 1921, so I am wondering if anyone might have the time to check through that month for me and take a copy if one exists.  The papers have not been microfilmed so it would mean looking through the actual papers (Archivists says this is OK).

I would be eternally grateful.

If no one else replies, I will be going at some time but I can't give a date as yet. Post back if you get this done.

Hello las camelias, nothing yet confirmed I am afraid. I will send a pm when I am getting near to a date.

Hi Midase,

Is there any Somerset Archives on internet ? I'm also looking up for archives and being in Canada does not help.

Hello vfrye
There isn't an on-line archive as such. There is an on-line search facility here http://www1.somerset.gov.uk/archives/ But this only tells you what documents are available. What are you looking for?
