BBC News - The Mary Rose: A Tudor ship's secrets revealed:

BBC TV news had an excellent half hour item on the Mary Rose occasioned by the new museum opening - but the net version it seems to be blocked to people outside the UK. This is a less informative substitute. If you saw one of the travelling exhibits a decade ago or so don't take them as having covered the recovered material - the museum display is far richer.

You will see from the style the eNews consists largely of links.

Our preferred form is a few lines at most, with a link or an email contact for further information.

At a pinch we may self-host longer documents to link in the eNews, but they must be submitted as pdf or word documents as attachments to emails. They need some processing so there may be a delay in their being used.

If you are running a conference, we will usually run a link once only - and if you don't have a website for it yet, then please tell us when you have. 

Relevant job advertisements are welcome - there is no charge.
