Research services

You are welcome to visit the Record Office and to use the documents, catalogues and indexes free of charge. However, you may wish to make preliminary enquiries in advance to find out whether a personal visit is worthwhile; or you may not be able to come to the Record Office to look at the records yourself. In both cases, our research services can help you.
