A photographic tour of The Hive… no. 2
- 6th February 2012
Today we continue our tour of The Hive, bringing you photographs of the new workspace for the Archive and Archaeology Service:
Our new searchroom desk is almost ready to receive the first enquirers at our new service!
Our new original document searchroom, for consulting all of our original archives, is set out in an L-shape, as you can see below:
?Opposite our reception desk we have an area where users will be able to consult our indexes and paper catalogues. This area is surrounded by glass cabinets, which will be used to display items to reflect the services within The Hive:
Our new searchroom desks have lights to assist users where needed, and sockets at each table to allow for any laptops to be plugged in:
We have a new table area dedicated to researchers who need to look at maps:

Our Local Studies Library will have a new home here:
And users will be able to access our microfilm sources throughout the entire day, thanks to our self service area. This is where the microfilm readers will be placed:
?We’re all really impressed with what we have seen so far, what do you think of our new facilities?
We’ll be back soon with some more photos from our tours around The Hive.
