As we adjust to the lifting of Covid safety measures, our staff will continue to give visitors extra space and we encourage visitors to respect others’ space. Wearing masks for both staff and visitors is optional. We will continue to monitor numbers to ensure the archives do not become too crowded and we will maintain increased cleaning.
Pre-booking for the search room is essential. Book your place, order documents and find out what to expect when you visit.
Our paid research and copying services are open for orders. To order copies or request research, please email archives@twmuseums.org.uk. We'll reply to you and provide a quotation for your copying or research.
