Saturday and Sunday are both reasonably quiet and there is no booking system but don't worry because there are plenty of microfilm readers available. You will need to take some identification on your first visit to obtain a readers card - a driving licence is probably best. There is no charge for using the archives although there is a car parking charge of £2.

Good luck with your research

  Lucyla. just to add to your query, you will need a pound coin for a locker where you will have to leave any coats, bags et'c, as one is not allowed to take anything other than papers & pencils et'c. into the search room. You will get the pound back when you open the locker at end of your visit..There is also a nice cafe and toilet facilities, a small shop for pencils et'c.. All in all a very nice new building thats been too long in coming. Enjoy!  Dolly.

Hi Dolly

Thanks for that, thought I would find out what I needed before I go as I am a bit apprehensive about going as I have never been before. I am sure if I get stuck some kind person will help.  Thanks again Janet
