We are happy to answer simple enquiries that relate to the history of the University or about the archives we hold. This is covered by our enquiry service

  • An Archive Services staff member to undertake your research.

  • Up to four A4 photocopies (where appropriate).

  • Postage of your research report and up to four A4 copies.

It does not include: 

  • Value Added Tax (VAT) at 17.5% (where applicable).

  • Extra photocopies, postage or other reprographic service charges where applicable.

  • Reproduction fees for use of images or quotes in publications or broadcasts.

 

Requesting research 

  • Complete the research application form (1 page, 32kb small_pdf_icon) then print and sign it.

  • Give it to a member of staff or post it. Please note that original forms with signatures are always required.

  • We will then assess your request and let you know how long the research is likely to take us. Payment must be made in advance and is non-refundable.

When commissioning research, please remember that our expertise does not necessarily cover your particular subject in depth. We therefore request that you carefully formulate your request to seek particular facts and avoid using overly technical language unless requesting searches for specific technical words.
