We are looking forward to welcoming more people back to the Record Office. However the health & wellbeing of visitors and staff remain our key priority.

Thank you for your patience whilst we implement our gradual reopening plan. UPDATE: The Record Office will be open on SATURDAY mornings 21 August, 4 September and 18 September. We will be CLOSED FOR STOCKTAKING from 25 September to 9 October (inclusive).
