The lift will be used to transport all archives, meaning that information and archives around school protocols, goods-archives and church-lists will be unavailable from December 3 to 20 December.
We're sorry for any inconvenience caused to you.

:)

Thanks for the translation, Jan.

As you said, not exciting...
...more a housekeeping report.

(And here was I wondering what "elevator" might mean in Danish. It didn't occur to me it might mean elevator...)

Thanks also to everyone else who pitched in with initiatives - both the translatables & the historicals.

(Great-grandaddy couldn't have imagined this kind of communication when he left Denmark in 1874. But Dunedin suited him & he lived into his 90s)
