Using our collections

 

Important information regarding access to research collections in 2024

Please note that our off-site stores (object collections only) will not be accessible for large parts of 2024 due to a major store move. We will advise you as to whether this is likely to impact your planned research when you get in touch to discuss a visit. Please also be aware that these dates might change slightly depending on the progress of the move project.
