Remote Research:
Archive Assistants will do their utmost to assist with remote research. Please contact the team via email or telephone, and staff will be able to advise on the relevant material we hold in our collection. The team will be able to scope our collection and recommend material in the collection, often with reference numbers, for your research. This is a free service. For additional research on items in the collection, a remote research fee will apply at £20 per hour. Additional charges for image scanning, copies, reproduction, and licensing will apply.
Free Resources:
We produce a series of in-depth guides to our records and a number of basic user guides providing a general overview and helping you start your research.
