National Archives announcement

[Megan Roberts]

This appeared in their social media feed today:

We’re pleased to announce that we've awarded Ancestry UK the contract to digitise the first tranche of MOD service personnel records.
Both parties are looking forward to working to make these important records accessible in digital format. Details of the schedule will be announced soon.

More about the records themselves, including answers to the most frequently asked questions about the transfer, here 👇

The link given simply takes you to a press release last November about the accessibility or otherwise of records. This new announcement does not:

1. Deal with the FOI issues that people have experienced or
2. With where FOLD3 comes into the equation.
