NOTICE OF TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF THE ARCHIVES DUE TO ESSENTIAL BUILDING WORK
ARRANGEMENTS AT THE ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS OVER THE SUMMER
The Archives and Special Collections will be closed to readers from the 17th of April until the 1st of September 2023. This is in order to replace the shelving in the strong room, and so improve our storage capabilities. This work comes following the recent substantial award of external funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
However, there will be an opportunity for readers to make a “special request” to consult rare books and some archival collections over the Summer (from the 22nd of May onwards), by appointment only.
Those readers will need to pre-order documents i.e. send us a list of the items that they wish to see by the 28th of April 2023.
Unfortunately, only a limited number of documents can be pre-ordered and any requests received after this date cannot be considered.
We are conscious of the sudden interruption to our usual service and apologise for the short notice.
If you have any queries you can contact us on archives@bangor.ac.uk or 01248 383276.
Welcome to the Archives and Special Collections which forms part of Digital Services at Bangor University.
We are responsible for the collection and long-term preservation of manuscripts, archival collections and a diverse range of rare books and printed material.
