JUDI'S CORNER

This week features a commemorative offering from Britain's Parliamentary Archives:

The Gunpowder Plot: Parliament & Treason 1605
http://www.gunpowderplot.parliament.uk
Britain's parliament has created this site to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the "Guy Fawkes plot," a major attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. The site traces the background of the Plot using original material from the period held in the archives of the Houses of Parliament and in other archives, museums and libraries.

That's all for this week! "Remember...the Web is a terrible thing to waste!"
