Dear Colleagues During the summer of 2004 the Borthwick Institute will be closed for a period of approximately three months while we move into our new HLF-funded archive building located in Heslington alongside the University of York’s Library. During the period of our closure it will not be possible for our staff to answer phone or written enquiries and we would very much appreciate it if you would mention this closure to researchers if you are recommending that they should use our records. If you have a personal need to contact one of the archivists please email me on [log in to unmask] and I will forward the message. Due to the logistical complexities of the move it is very likely that our phones will not be answered. Please note that it will not be possible to deal with genealogical or research enquiries by email. Information about our re-opening will be posted on our web site www.york.ac.uk/inst/bihr as it becomes available. Our new address is BORTHWICK INSTITUTE FOR ARCHIVES, University of York, Heslington, York YO10 5DD. After our opening all public enquiries about visiting us and about our holdings should be directed to (01904) 321166, and we would be grateful if you would forward this information to staff in your department and update any relevant directories that you hold. Yours sincerely, Sara Slinn Office Manager
