Please note due to our annual media preview week, our Reading Room and Genealogy Advisory Service will be closed Monday 30 November until Friday, 4 December.
Each January, the National Archives releases records of Departments of State to the public and Media Preview Week allows members of the media have an opportunity to prepare stories and broadcasts ahead of their appearance on television and in press in late December.
Normal service resumes on Monday 7 December at 10 am. On Wednesday 9 December, the Reading Room will open at the later time of 11.30 am.
