Overnight Programme fully staffed

The Programme begins on the evening of Friday, November 14th, at 9:41 PM. Desks 2001 to 2060 are ready, and every one has its own telephone.

Premises expansion ahead of schedule

Premises reports that the building has grown again this quarter, well ahead of schedule. No construction was needed, and no disruption to Records is expected. Premises thanks everyone who contributed.

Chairman's Corner: Time well kept

Forty-six years ago I opened a single room of drawers on Meridian Way. People asked me then what a records company could possibly promise that a filing cabinet could not. I told them: time. Not one minute you entrust to us will be wasted, or forgotten, or lost. It will be kept, and kept well.

This month sixty new Custodians join us for the Overnight Retention Programme. To each of them I say: welcome. Your time is valued. I look forward to seeing it.

— A. Ord
