Friends of the Record Office

a picture of the Friends lion The Friends were formed to support the work of the record office and continue to do so in a number of ways:
  • We provide financial support through an emergency document purchase fund, for items that come up for sale or auction that are not within the scope of the Record Office budget.
  • We undertake indexing and cataloguing projects for the office.
  • We lobby on behalf of the office wherever appropriate.
  • We assist at Record Office events.

The Friends continue to contribute towards the purchase of the following:

  • Replacing microfilms
  • Books for the record office library 
  • Binding and repairing of existing library books
  • Maps and other documents

Bookbinding is an ongoing activity paid for by the Friends, and donations are always welcome towards this and any other project we undertake.
