The Church of England Record Centre (CERC) will undergo a major renovation
of its premises in the New Year. Consequently from Monday 9 December 2002,
our search room in Bermondsey will be closed to the public and our search
room service transferred to the Lambeth Palace Library on a trial basis.
(Readers will need to abide by Lambeth Palace Library Reading Room Rules.)
However the records and their finding aids will continue to be stored at
Bermondsey. Enquiries concerning the consultation of CERC records at Lambeth
Palace Library, the holdings of the CERC and requesting documents should
continue to be addressed to our Bermondsey offices. Searchers who wish to
consult records held at the CERC need to contact our Bermondsey offices and
give 5 days notice of their visit to Lambeth Palace Library to view the
records. The records will be delivered to Lambeth Palace Library and will be
retained there for 20 working days where they can be viewed during library
opening hours of 10.am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. No appointment will be
needed once the documents have been requested from the CERC at Bermondsey.
Further information on these new arrangements with a short description of
CERC holdings and conditions of access to the Library can be found on
Lambeth Palace Library's website, www.lambethpalacelibrary.org. Information
on the Library's address and opening hours is available in the Access to the
Library section of the website. Readers will need to be issued with tickets
and to abide by Lambeth Palace Library Reading Room Rules.
I would be grateful if this information can be passed on to appropriate
professional colleagues and members of the public.
