TROVE and a petition re its funding.
« on: Tuesday 15 March 16 04:27 GMT (UK) »
There's a thread on the Common Room re some significant concerns about the on-going funding for TROVE.

Here's a live link,  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=743882.0

Cheers,  JM

I've signed. It is worth a try, but if the politicians have decided this is where they want to make cuts, then that is what they will do. Sad to say .... :(

Thanks for the links on this, JM and Neil.  It's appalling. Services at the NLA have been noticeably cut already.

If enough people say NO CUTS then any Politician worth his corruption will take notice 8)

PLEASE SEND THE PETITION WITH SOME EXPLANATION TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES AND ASK THEM TO FOLLOW IT UP..WE ALL HAVE A NICE BIG LIST OF EMAIL ADDRESSES.

MODIFIED. I just sent it with an explanation to my entire email list.

If you have any Family History buffs on your Facebook page, or frequent any Facebook Genealogy groups, (there's a good few of them) that could be a good place to post a message and the Link. Sure it will be shared well around!

I just thought of that! 😀😀 Better practice what I preach!
