Packing up the contents of the Research Centre is ongoing and we are afraid that free space is disappearing as the crates get filled.  The last items to get packed will be the OPR films for this area of Scotland as they are the most consulted here.  The census are being packed as are various other films we have and would advise you to contact us if you are intending looking at anything in this line.

Computers will be available until we close on Thursday 18th October and the Library is mainly operating as usual.  Volunteers will still be here to help you until we close.

It is amazing how dusty and grimy things can be!

2nd October 2018
Books for sale are packed but MI's will be available for a while yet. 1891 Census is in the process of being packed and will be finished this week as will some others. Please give us a call to check what is available if you intend visiting the centre. We apologise for any inconvenience caused during the renovation but we will be back soon with improved facilities. Thanks for your patience.
