What's new
 New copy fees and charges
|
01 August 2010
We are making some changes to our fees for copying services.
Higher costs mean that, for the first time in 7 years, we have had to increase some of these fees. We have tried to keep the effect of this to a minimum. We are also pleased to say that we have been able to reduce the charge for self-service photography. Please note the new fees which are:
· 50p per self-service printout
· £1 per photocopy or printout (processed by staff) ordered in the searchroom
· £1 per self-service photograph
The price of printouts and photocopies ordered by post or email remains unchanged.

Sports Records Survey
|
11 January 2010
BRO is undertaking a survey of all sports clubs in Berkshire, to find out what historical records they hold and to encourage clubs to deposit their records.
All current sports clubs in Berkshire will be contacted over the next two years and will be asked to complete an online survey about their historical records.
If you have any records for a club, you can complete a survey form at www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=v2HizvSVMCE_2fprmGOq4e2A_3d_3d or contact us on 0118 9015132 to have a chat about your records.
We would like to hear from anyone who has records for old sports clubs so that we can preserve these records for the future.
