College of Arms Heraldry Archive

[AthenaLou]

Just been watching the news.....the college of arms in victoria street, london has gone up in smoke....over 2 floors.....this archive holds the coat of arms and pedigree of english, welsh, northern irish and commonwealth families.....this could be a nasty blow for us as genealogists......dont know anymore as yet until more is published.

firefighters have been fighting the fire since 10.50am today

Thats sad, the loss of any archive is a blow. I hope that no one was hurt and that the archive is recoverable.
