Hi

I am doing the study of a London tenement block called Evelyn Buildings in Holborn, London where my ancestors lived from 1882 to 1889. I have had a thought about depositing a copy of it for the Local Studies at Holborn Library, Theobalds Road, where I have been to many times and I know some of the staff.

I wonder if they would allow me to deposit my building write up for others to see and study as this seems a good idea and it is about a building in the Holborn area and it is also full of info on life in a Victorian London tenement plus ancestral info for when my rellies lived there?

Hi Kirsty

I hope they do allow it. I am sure they will as a lot of RO's do let researchers deposit their family trees. I am sure they will be delighted about a Building History in the area?

I don't see why they wouldn't. I'm sure they'd be happy to.

At Kent Record Office there are several "home made" books in the library section where people have put together information. They're all catalogued and given one of those library numbers.

If it's local to the area - it's relevant and will be hepful to others.
