May I suggest that comments, compliments and thanks to the volunteers who
made the Dumfries & Galloway archives available on line should be addressed
to the Library and Information services by pressing the "Feedback" button on
the website?

http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/services/depts/comres/library/index.asp

The messages of appreciation will then reach the people concerned - and
hopefully will encourage them to continue with their excellent work.

Regards

Rene Anderson
