« on: Saturday 05 April 25 16:03 BST (UK) »
This site is frequently mentioned on Rootschat and I have found it invaluable for Victorian maps. But cannot access it today
Is anyone else having problems?

NLS is undergoing essential maintenance. There is a message on the website as follows:

From 5pm on Friday 4 April, you won’t be able to access some of our online services. Our library buildings in Edinburgh and Glasgow will also close for essential maintenance. We expect to resume online services on Monday 7 April and reopen our buildings on Tuesday 8 April.

Thank you
Unfortunately I couldn't get as far as the website to see the message, despite going back to a search engine and googling NLS
