WEBSITES
The WDYTYA? website has flagged a resource of which I was not aware, namely, the 'Captive Memories' project, which contains memories of WWII POWs held in the Far East. There's a nice introduction here (where there is also news of a conference on the subject), and the website itself can be found here.

The Society of Genealogists is getting into Webinars. On 26th August the organisation is to hold a 'Legacy Software' webinar - take a look here, where you will also find a detailed description of how these 'web seminars' work. Mind you, I can't help feeling that £6 (or £4.80 for members) is a bit pricey for something viewed over the internet. Is this the norm for this sort of thing?
TheGenealogist has released a huge selection of Australian records for its Diamond members. These include Convict Lists & Pardons, Muster Rolls, Census Returns and Ledger Returns.
The August issue of Best of British is now on sale.

A selection of TV & Radio for the next few days can be found here.
