Our most frequently used material has been put onto microfilm
and fiche, so to avoid disappointment it is advisable to book a
machine in advance of your visit. A leaflet called Microform Guide,
which details these records, is available on request.
It is not necessary to book to use original material but you may
like to check beforehand that we hold the records you need.
Due to the increase in demand for use of the public computers, with
effect from 12th November 2007, a booking system will be
introduced. Sessions will be of half hour duration and any further
use must be authorised by a member of staff. Bookings can be made
in advance or on the day. A board will be available in the
searchroom close to the computers so that available times can be
booked by our visitors. We hope by this means to make the computers
more fairly available to all.
We provide an information leaflet 'Visiting the Herefordshire Record Office' which may help you prepare for your visit.
Please e-mail archives@herefordshire.gov.uk to make an advance booking.
