I recently found this really cool Christmas Card in some papers I am cataloguing. It dates from 1946 and belonged to a Royal Navy officer who served with a hydrographic surveying unit in the Far East. The ship, HMS White Bear, was a floating chart printing factory.

This is awful news! When will they learn! 🤦♀️😖 Please please stop destroying original documents!!! #archives #twitterstorians
The government has published a consultation paper setting out their proposals to introduce a system for preserving (post-1858) will documents in digital form.
The paper proposes the wholesale destruction of original documents.
I think we need to fight it.
