I believe the archive service is very important because it allows people to learn about their community’s history. By understanding how people lived here in the past, we can gain insights that help us today and in the future.
Digital technology plays an important role in the archive service, allowing many more people to access information than ever before. Many people enjoy researching their family history or learning about the local area. Thanks to this technology, library members can now search the digital archive to support their research. The digital archive service also provides access to the British Newspaper Archive, where you can search through forty million newspaper pages stored by the British Library. You can find information about the archive service on the library website:

If you would like to book an appointment to view the archive, please contact the library by using the email address below.
