Opening the archives

Lincolnshire Archives

Lincolnshire Archives will be re-opening to the public on Saturdays, initially once a month, from 4 September 2021.

The Archives will be open on the first Saturday of every month between 10am and 4pm, offering access to pre-ordered original documents, together with other resources available within the search room. This is in addition to the existing weekday openings from Tuesday to Thursday.

Visitors will need to book to visit the search room at least a week in advance.

Bookings and document ordering can be done by emailing archive.bookings@lincolnshire.gov.uk.

Cllr Lindsey Cawrey, executive councillor for culture at the county council, said:

"Although there are a wealth of resources available online, it's been great to welcome visitors back to the Archives in person!

"We know Saturday opening is more convenient for many people, so we will be reviewing this and may introduce further Saturday openings if there is the demand.

"Pre-booking is essential so we can make sure you can access the resources you need. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please do not hesitate to get in touch."
