Jenner Trust Professor R A Shooter, Smallpox Archivist of the Jenner Trust, is eager to receive any references to smallpox or vaccinations in local archives. He points out that although it was only too common, many records seem to have been lost. Smallpox is also unique in being the only infectious disease eradicated by deliberate action. He can be contacted at The Edward Jenner Museum, Church Lane , Berkeley , Gloucestershire GL1 9BH; tel: 01453 810631 or e-mail: manager@jennermuseum.com

Roads & Road Transport Association.

The R&RTA are company limited by guarantee No.5300873. The Association was founded in 1992 as a clearinghouse for historical research in the subjects of our title. One of our objectives is to bring together enthusiast, museum and academic bodies. Their present enquiries are aimed at discovering items that may so far have had a very limited circulation in a particular locality, but which deserve greater connection with the strands of national transport history.

They have asked us to publicise their work and would be most interested to learn whether any of our members and readers have produced (or are currently working on) anything on the history of any bus, char-a-banc or coach operators, road haulage contractors, removals businesses or similar activities. They believe that such details may form only part of a wider local history, or a small section of a museum, but they could prove to be vital pieces of a larger 'jig-saw' picture.

Any thoughts you may have on this topic would be greatly appreciated by them. Their researcher is Anthony Newman and he is contactable by email to toekneenewman@hotmail.com
