New borough archives set to open in January (From Dudley News)
STAFF from the borough's archives and local history service have been working hard to get Dudley's state-of-the-art new archives centre ready for opening in January.
Based in Tipton Road, Dudley, the purpose-built eco-friendly facility which replaces the old Coseley Archives is set to open its doors to the public on Tuesday January 14 .

My latest book, Discover Scottish Civil Registration Records, is now available from http://www.gould.com.au (print) and http://www.gen-ebooks.com/unlock-the-past.html (ebook), whilst Tracing Your Irish Family History on the Internet is available at http://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Tracing-Your-Irish-History-on-the-Internet/p/3889/.
One day I'd love to visit - my grandmother's family come from Dudley Parish area, with rather common surnames - Bunn, Whitehouse, Price, Smith. Sigh. I'll be looking for any possible resources there in the new year (online, email). Thanks for posting this info, Chris. Always helpful.
