   I agree with the previous writer – the webinar was excellent….full of so much information. But – and a big ‘But’ …so much that I cannot remember it all ! A text version would be a huge help !

      Hi Patricia,

      Thanks very much for your comment.

      It possible to see subtitles for this webinar: if you click on the ‘Watch video on YouTube’ link, you can use the ‘Subtitles/close captions’ option on the YouTube website to see subtitles on all our webinars.

      Please bear in mind that we update Discovery fairly frequently. This means that these videos can have elements in them that become out of date. We’re planning to record a new webinar on using Discovery soon. In the meantime, you may find the ‘Discovery Help’ information on our website useful: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/discovery-help/

      You may also find these videos relevant:

      There is also an option on YouTube to open up a transcript. Click on the three dots to the right of ‘Save’ under the video window: you’ll see a dropdown list, including the option ‘Open transcript’.

      Liz.

   An excellent presentation that explains the use of the TNA catalogue, a text version of this should have been available from the start.

   Audrey, you have become my TNA goto hero 🙂
