Are you planning to visit the Archives and Heritage Service in the near future? Please read this
important message.

As you may be aware, we have been experiencing regular disruption to the goods lift we use to collect material from our basement bookstore. For the time being we would ask you to contact us at least 48 hours before visiting in order for us to be certain that we can retrieve the material you wish to view.
We are striving to provide an efficient retrieval service and such advance notice will help us to do this.

Email us: archives.heritage@birmingham.gov.uk or Tel: 0121 303 4549
