Summer Break

This will be the last post in this Blog for a few weeks as I will be away on annual leave for a short break. On my return I will be updating the range of blogs and online services offered by the Refugee Archives service here at UEL ahead of a re-launch towards the middle of September, to coincide with the start of the new academic term.

Please feel free to add any comments to this post with recommendations for anything you would like to see added to our online resources.

Best Wishes for now and enjoy the summer!
