Archives Services
Group visits to the Archives and introductory talks by staff are welcomed, please contact the Archives Office to arrange. Staff are able to give advice on research and the care of valuable or delicate documents.
Copying Services Photocopies of documents may be supplied (30p each copy). Copying is subject to copyright restrictions. You may obtain single copies for personal use, and will be required to complete a copyright declaration form. If you want us to send you a copyright form, please complete the feedback form at the foot of this page. (The form must be returned by post or by hand because the law requires a hand-written signature). Copying will not be permitted if documents may be damaged by the process.
Postal Services
The Archives provides a limited postal search service for those who are unable to visit the Archives. If you require a long search you are advised to contact a record agent. A list of local record agents (who are independent from the Archives and who charge fees) may be supplied on request. (You may use the feedback form).
