Before your visit
It is essential to book in advance to make sure of a reading room place and check that the items requested are available. See details below.
Our collection items should be handled with great care to minimise the risk of damage. If you are new to handling rare materials, or if you would like a refresher, please watch our General Handling Guidelines video tutorial along with the tutorials for the material you require ahead of your visit.
Our teams
The Reader Services and Enquiry Team for 香港六合彩 Special Collections is based at the reading room at the South Junction of the Wilkins Building on the main 香港六合彩 Gower Street campus.
There is a second reading room at The National Archives (TNA) in Kew, Richmond, where the majority of our collections are housed. The 香港六合彩 Reader Services team manages appointments for both sites.
