BYU Library Partners to Digitize the Provo Herald
The BYU Library has partnered with the University of Utah Marriott Library and Newspapers.com to complete the digitization of the Provo Herald. You can access the newspaper from 1909-2009 online on Newspapers.com, a subscription site, available for free at the BYU Library. The images will also soon be available on Utah Digital Newspapers, a free site. Here is a fun story about me from back in the day. https://digitalnewspapers.org/

Petition in UK To Allow Public Access to Birth, Marriage and Death Records
I wish I could sign this! I hope that UK citizens will do so!
Petition in UK To Allow Public Access to Birth, Marriage and Death Records
Jan Meisels Allen, Chairperson, IAJGS Public Records Access Monitoring Committee, reports a petition has started to open the civil registration records (birth, marriage and death) both online and at the registration office for England and Wales. Currently, the only way to obtain a civil record is to submit a payment to the General Register Office (GRO). The person behind this campaign is Guy Etchells, the man who is behind the push to get the 1911 Census released. Etchells says by making the records immediately accessible it is a win-win as the GRO can focus on the “core task of recording and administering current registrations” and genealogical organizations may wish to digitize the records and the government would receive licensing fees. The petition is available at http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/62779. Only UK citizens, ex-pat, or people actually live in the UK can sign this petition.
