The National Archives, along with many other similar national and local institutions, will be taking part in a special online event called #AskArchivists Day on Twitter, on Thursday 9th June. Read all about it, here, and keep an eye on your own local archive for regional participation. You don't have to have a Twitter account to follow proceedings - though of course you will need one to actually contribute.
TNA's new Chief Executive and Keeper, Oliver Morley, will also be on hand in person to answer questions on the same day - in the public restaurant of TNA, between 2pm and 3.30pm - see here.
The latest TNA Podcast, Behind the Scenes: two centuries of census-taking, is now available - click here to access the same.
