NEW security measures for all users of Cumbria Record Offices
New security measures are in force with effect from 1 December 2008 in all our Cumbria Record Offices. These will help us to prevent losses from our collections and safeguard irreplaceable material for the use of future generations of historians and researchers. Many of our visitors are already familiar with our request to use the lockers and cloakroom area to leave coats, outdoor jackets and bags of all descriptions, and we appreciate your co-operation and understanding.
From now on we also ask that all files, folders and document wallets of all kinds should also be left in lockers and that you bring into the searchroom loose sheets and notepads only. You will also be asked to remove laptops and cameras out of any cases and leave the cases outside the searchroom.
We hope that the introduction of these measures will not affect the quality service we offer all our visitors, and we appreciate your understanding and co-operation. A quick glance guide to how these restrictions will work is available.
