Exciting Changes Ahead: Limited Services Due to Relocation

We are going to be relocating our collection to a state-of-the-art, purpose-built facility in 2025.

To achieve this, we must reduce some of the services we offer to the public.

  • There is now a hold on all outgoing loans and new acquisitions/donations to the collection.
  • From mid-October 2023, we will be reducing the capacity for collection store visits. Responses to enquiries and image reproductions will be slower. Appointments for the reading room will be limited.
  • From October 2024 these services will stop until we re-open in the new facility, estimated end of 2025.

The reduction in services we offer will allow our staff to focus fully on making sure every item is correctly prepared for the big move. Thank you for understanding and we look forward to working with you again as soon as we can.
