WEBSITES
Though it's not strictly family history news, I suspect a lot of you out there will be more than a little interested in English Heritage's new 'National Heritage List for England' online facility. HistoryToday's website has a neat little intro to it, here, where you will find all you need to know as well as the relevant link. It is an utterly and wonderfully addictive site.
Another promising site is WorldCat, which enables you to search 10,000 libraries worldwide for a book of your choice. I've not really investigated the same properly, but I thought I would pass the link on to you.
It's a long time since I've used the popular genealogical website Cyndi's List, but I believe it has recently been overhauled - so it may be worth a look if you've got a moment free this weekend.
And there's a heck of a long list of museums on Twitter for you to follow, here.
