Access and enquiries
Prior to contacting us, please check the online catalogue to make sure the information you require is not included as part of the catalogue description.
The collection is spread across a number of sites and physical access may be limited to specific days of the week, or take a little time to arrange. Some objects cannot be seen by the public, this may be for a number of reasons. Objects may be on loan, on exhibition or undergoing conservation treatment. The curatorial department will advise if this is the case.
Those wishing to access the collection for study are encouraged to contact the Archives team to discuss their requirements.
