Enquiry Service

Supported by Essex County Council, Libraries

Visitors are welcome during our opening times which are Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:00am to 1:00pm. No appointment is necessary but for those able to visit, it's worth checking in advance that the Archive is open.

Enquiry Service Charges

Institutional users and researchers, including researchers for TV and Radio - £25.60 per hour

Members of the public - £12.30 per hour

Students - £6.15 per hour

We charge these research fees when dealing by correspondence but there is no fee to visitors doing research or just browsing.

Visitors can use the main library area with designated material when the Archive is closed so they can in fact make a whole day of it if they so wish.

If you have any questions, please e-mail David Nathan at david.nathan@essexcc.gov.uk
