On the domestic front, Dick Eastman alerted us that the
Family History Library in Salt Lake City will change its Saturday hours to 9:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. beginning 13 Apr 2013, Previously, it was open from 8:00 a.m.
to 9:00 p.m. I guess this proves that even genealogists have other things to do
on Saturday night. Who knew?

For
example last week, they reported that the Hillingdon Local Studies, Archives
and Museum Service will be closing to the public on 28 March as the Uxbridge
(Middlesex) Library where it is housed is closing for renovation. They will be
in temporary accommodation with no public access for at least 9 months. The
staff hopes to be able to run a limited enquiry service. Contact them by email
at archives@hillingdon.gov.uk or phone 01895 250702.
