Archive Enquiries
The Archive collections are available to access by researchers and the general public. Please note that currently only brief box-lists may be available and if staff are working on a collection, it may be closed whilst essential listing or preservation work is being carried out.

Providing access to information is a priority, but staff have a duty to provide individuals with a degree of privacy and must comply with the law. Therefore some records may also be closed in order to comply with the Data Protection Act, 2018.
