Searchroom news

You will notice our Searchroom image has now turned red. We are entering the final stages of preparation for the physical move. During this period, our collections will no longer be accessible, which means we will be unable to provide copying or research services. From February 2026, these services will be on hold.

From that point onward, we will only be able to respond to the most urgent official enquiries, such as requests from council officers supporting council business, the police, and urgent baptism certificate requests.

We expect the collections to become available again in early autumn, at which time we will resume normal services.
