Bristol Record Office takes stock
Bristol Record Office at 'B' Bond Warehouse, Smeaton Road, will be closed to the public from Monday 19 to Friday 30 January inclusive for stocktaking. It will be open again as usual at 9.30 am on Monday 2 February.
The Record Office closes for two weeks every year at the end of January to allow staff to do all those essential behind-the-scenes jobs that they can't do when the office is open.
2003 has been a busy and eventful year for the Record Office: in addition to welcoming thousands of visitors who wished to use the historical records it looks after, it has also been involved with Bristol & Wells Archive Treasures Week, Archive Awareness Month, Diversity Festival SW and other events besides, all designed to tell everybody in Bristol just what the Record Office can offer them.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by our annual stock-taking, but we need this time to tie up loose ends and prepare for the exciting challenges that 2004 will bring us.
You can still telephone the Record Office during the closure period (9.30 am - 1 pm/ 2 pm - 4.30 pm, Monday - Thursday) but staff ask that you phone only if your enquiry is urgent.
