There is no need to book your place or prebook documents. You will need an Archives Card if you haven’t already got one, and you can register beforehand

The Self Service area is open again throughout The Hive opening hours. So you can come in to use the computers, the microfilms, and the Local Studies Library. (UPDATE: From 6 September The Hive is back open 8:30am-10pm every day except Bank Holidays).

To promote a safe environment for staff and customers, good ventilation of all public areas will be maintained and while no longer mandatory, the continued use of face coverings will be encouraged, along with hand hygiene and surface cleaning.
