Purpose

1. The committee will use the NDFHS Mailing List to:
   • Announce last minute changes of venue and speakers.
   • Publicise new publications issued by the Society.
   • List recent acquisitions by the Library.
   • Highlight current vacancies and appointments.
   • Put out calls for volunteers.
   • Issue surveys and requests for information.
   • Note developments on the web site.
   • Carry news that may be of interest to the Membership.

2. The NDFHS Mailing List will allow NDFHS members to:
   • Suggest ways in which the Society can improve its range of services.
   • Make constructive criticism of the Society, its Rules and publications.
   • Comment on the general running of the Society.
   • Respond to requests for information and help.

The NDFDHS Mailing List is NOT a general discussion group nor is it a means of seeking help with your research. Genealogical or historical queries relating to the area served by the Society may be sent to either the NORTHUMBRIA or DUR-NBL Mailing Lists.

A number of Newsgroups also exist that deal with general queries. Check with your service provider for further details.
