National Archives of Ireland - help please
« on: Tuesday 29 October 19 21:15 GMT (UK) »
I have sent 2 emails to the National Archives from here in Australia, the first is still unanswered and
the second one was returned as unable to be delivered.  I used the email address from their website.
Would appreciate knowing if this is still the correct email address.

Regards,
Jen.

Yes KG that is the one.  I used the email address listed there. 

 I thought perhaps there might be a time frame for the Archives to reply.  It differs here depending on the library/archive, some have a response time of 5 working days, others much longer.

That's really poor of them.

What sort of query was it?

Hello Purpeller,  Thanks for your interest.  It was an enquiry regarding the Chief Secretary's
                        Office Register Papers.  I have sent another email using their online enquiry
                        facility referring to my earlier emails.  There is a character limit on this facility
                        and insufficient space to give full details which is the reason I used their email
                        initially.
Regards,
Jen.

You could also try them on twitter - they generally have someone covering it during business hours (so late at night for you should get them early in the morning?) - just asking about the email bouncing, etc, rather than your specific query.

The Archives have sent a response today so all is well although cost is surprisingly high for a copy
of a record and payment can only be made by cheque or bank draft.
