Nov 16 - New Scanner For The National Archives
A new, highly-specialised, archival scanner has recently been installed at the National Archives. The scanner is a German machine costing 24,000 Euros, which was met in full by a grant from the Parasol Foundation Trust. The device will enable staff at the Archives to digitise documents such as newspapers, magazines, government files and books as well as images, maps and plans. The scanner has a search capability, thus making it much easier to carry out research on documents which, in some cases go back as far as the early 18th century.
All Government offices will mark the memory of those who were murdered in Paris on Friday night with a two minute silence at midday on Monday. The staff of No6 Convent Place will move outside the building for this mark of respect for the victims.

The Gibraltar Youth Service continues to develop projects with the Department of Education.
