Do I need to book?
No. We have 8 desks in our library (including 2 with disabled access) and a multi function machine for microfiche and film - so there should be space for everyone however if you are travelling far it would be worth emailing in advance and we can reserve a table for you.
What do I need to bring?
Your membership number (if you are a member, but non-members are also welcome), pencil, notebook and some details about the people you are searching for - names, dates and places of birth etc. Any other information about ancestors which will help with your research.
The Keep has lockers for coats, bags and any material which cannot be brought into the library.
