Hi Brian,
Although The J.J. Talman Regional Collection is not a municipal archives in any formal sense, the City of London, Middlesex County, and a selection of jurisdictions in the surrounding municipalities have deposited records with The University of Western Ontario. Thus, to answer your questions:
We have land registry copy books for Middlesex West for the period 1847-1962 which were acquired from the Glencoe LRO.
* The J.J. Talman Regional Collection, The D.B. Weldon Library, The University of Western Ontario
* No (acquired with no formal agreement c. 1990)
* Yes and yes.
* 61 shelves
* No.
* N/A
Hope this helps.

I would like to be able to reference the status of things in other municipal archives in the province. If you could spend a few seconds answering the following questions, it would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance:
