A statement from Glamorgan Archives in light of the current Covid-19 situation.
Updated 23rd July 2021
Glamorgan Archives is open for pre-booked searchroom visits. Due to the ongoing restrictions, we require searchers to book in advance of any visit and let us know what documents are required. We are currently experiencing very high demand for appointments, so please contact us as soon as you know you would like to visit.
The searchroom is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10am-12.30pm and then 1.30pm-4pm to allow for enhanced cleaning. Guidance and clear procedures will be issued to all visitors prior to their booked session. Please email GlamRO@cardiff.gov.uk for more information and to book a seat.
We would like to thank all of our users for their patience during the last year, and for bearing with us whilst we prepared the building ready to reopen. The team at Glamorgan Archives has been very grateful for the ongoing support.
