Access

We preserve valuable records so that people can continue to have access to them, both in the present and the future. We therefore welcome researchers and visitors. Admission is free to all and every member of UB and of the wider community, whether pursuing academic, professional, or private study, is welcome. We do ask that children under the age of 16 be accompanied by an adult, and for appointments to be made in advance. (UB staff requiring access to their own institutional records does not need an appointment).

All visitors will be asked to register with us, including providing picture ID, and to accept our Readers' Rules.

Our archives can only be consulted on site. However, we are committed to developing opportunities for remote access to the collections. We will also answer all written and telephone enquiries and conduct limited research for those unable to visit in person.
