Main Building and the Great Hall from the City Rd entrance, 1870

The Archives are located on Level 9 Fisher Library. We are open for use by staff, students and the public by appointment.

Due to preparations for the move of the Archives to new a new location (still on level 9 of Fisher Library) our availability for research has had to be reduced. In 2013 the Archives will be closed for between 4 and 6 weeks. We apologise for the inconvenience, but it is unavoidable. More details will be posted as they become available.

Access to the Archives is by appointment only Monday-Thursday between 9:00am and 5:00pm (closed for lunch 1-2). Please contact the Reference Archivist for information on available times.
