It may be that you will have to give copies to the library

b) if the above fails, then I will use my contacts in the Family History Society to see if I can find somebody to do the search & photographing for you. That too might mean copies for the library.

If this comes off, there's got to be a pint in it for me. -Getting Retlaw to buy me a pint would be the pinnacle of success.

Had a word with Kath in the Library, she doesn't think Colindale will let them out of their builfing either, and if they did the Library could'nt afford the costs of insurance & transport, she also says that Colindale are having the newspapers digitise, but when they get round to Accy, only god will know, they've done up to about 1900, Its not Ancestry thats doing it, thank goodness, but it will be on a pay per view site.
Kath told me some one has hard copies of the Haz Gaz, so I'll try that route and see if they contain what I'm after.
