Title: Powys Archives Catalogue offline?
Post by: Liza115 on Wednesday 03 May 23 06:07 BST (UK)

I used to be able to search the Powys archives database online. Recently, they changed their website, which is now called StoriPowys. I have tried clicking on the links to the archives in the new website but haven't been able to get through.
Has anyone else had this problem?

I just tried to access the catalogue and it was stuck on loading and making no progress.

It's not just me then. That's too bad. I will try emailing them to see if they are aware it's an issue.
Thanks for confirming, Davedrave.

Yes, it's been good for a while now, thanks sunflower. I think it was just a hiccup in their transition to the new website. The archives catalogue is a good place to search for names of past people and places in Radnorshire. Even if you can't get to the archives to see the actual documents, the index usually shows a date when an event happened.
