LET US HELP WITH YOUR RESESARCH
READING ROOM ACCESS
For onsite research No. 28 Bedford Street has a dedicated reading room.
If you would like to access our archives for your research, we have a Reading Room on the 3rd floor of No. 28 Bedford Street, which is a designated quiet space and environmentally controlled. To book this space and request specific archives, we would ask that you get in touch to ensure the room is available and to allow staff plenty of time to make sure the relevant documents are on site for your use.
ONLINE COLLECTION
Don’t forget we have a significant amount of information stored here on our website!
Why not explore our stories and collections from the comfort of your own home? If you are conducting research, our online database is a great place to start and it will give you a great idea of what we have available. If you would like to request any documents or artefacts, make sure you take a note of the Accession or reference number. It just makes processing your request a little easier for our team!
