Access to the Archive and Museum collections

Due to a high volume of researchers already accessing the archive, and with our museum curator, archivist and librarian going on a knowledge-sharing trip to Book Bunk in Nairobi, the archive and museum collections will be closed to researchers from 11th October to 4th November 2019. If you have already made an appointment with our archivist, that appointment will still go ahead, but no further appointments will be made until 4th November. Our stores will then be closed for our yearly reorganisation from 2nd December to 31st January.
