Jacqueline, if you find one please let me know as I also would be interested to do some distance learning. I live in Spain and not in a large place so it is not practical to go to a college etc. Having just retired I feel y=that I would like to keep the brain going so hope you find something..

Can you join a local history society? They meet monthly and will help and teach a lot. Also if you are near to a Records Office - they often hold one day seminars. And of course there are great teachers all round you on GR!!!
