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.

John

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:
