We will be reopening on restricted hours from Tuesday 4 May by prior appointment only.

Please contact us on info@georgepadmoreinstitute.org to arrange an appointment.

Opening hours will be Tuesday-Thursday 11.00am to 3.00pm.

Please arrange your appointment with us as soon as possible and a minimum of 2 weeks before you plan to visit.

Researchers who lost appointments during the recent lockdown have been offered research visits from early May. However, appointments are currently available from mid-May onwards.

All records will need to be pre-ordered at least 1 week prior to your appointment and will be quarantined for 72hrs before and after handling.

We will be unable to carry out any copying services on the day that you visit.

Social distancing and stringent hygiene measures remain in place throughout the GPI building. The wearing of a face covering is mandatory, unless you are exempt for medical reasons.

Please download and read the Visiting the Archives document for full details.

We hope you remain in good health and look forward to welcoming you again to the GPI.
