At the Back to Our Past Fair you may wish to keep an eye out for the official launch of The Irish Family and Local History Handbook - see also here.
Essex Record Office has pushed back the launch of its new pay-to-browse subscription service. Essex Ancestors was supposed to go live yesterday (17th), but has now been pencilled in for Monday 24th October. There's a little bit more info here - and I can tell you that it'll be £5 for 1 day, £15 for 1 week, £25 for 1 month, and £75 for 1 year.
Some Irish reading has popped up in the shape of the October edition of Ireland's Genealogical Gazette; and there is also ReadIreland's list of latest book releases/reviews - click here, then click on 'Read Ireland Book News' (please note that there have been several batches added since I last mentioned the website).
The Irish Genealogy News blog has a few snippets, here.
And I see the 'Yorkshire History Prize 2012' has been launched - a chance for article writers to chase a cash reward!
