Joint Archive Service: Corporation of London Records Office: move to
Clerkenwell
Because of major works at Guildhall in the City of London, the Corporation
of London Records Office (CLRO; PO Box 270, Guildhall, London EC2P 2EJ; Tel
020 7332 1251; Fax 020 7710 8682; email [log in to unmask]) is moving
in 2005 to the London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) premises in Clerkenwell.
From mid-January 2005 key genealogical sources such as City of London
freedom admission papers and City police personnel records will be at LMA.
Microfilms of the City freedom indexes from 1681 will be available both at
LMA and at Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section (Aldermanbury, London EC2P
2EJ; 020 7332 1863). Microfilms of other CLRO sources such as the core
administrative archives will also be available at LMA.
The CLRO public searchroom at Guildhall will close completely on 28 January
2005 and the rest of the archives will be moved in the period up to the end
of June 2005. During this time we will continue to offer a limited distance
enquiries service. There will be a full searchroom and enquiry service for
all our users at the LMA site at Clerkenwell from 4 July 2005 onwards.
We apologise for any temporary inconvenience which may arise because of the
move. Please contact us in advance (and see our website) to receive the
latest information.
