The building work, which necessitated practically the closure of the Kent Archives Office for nearly two years, has now been completed. The new searchroom was officially opened by Philip Ziegler on Monday 4th November.
Mr Ziegler is the author of at least eight historical works, including The Black Death (1969) and the recently published and much-acclaimed official biography of Mountbatten.
The new opening hours will be:
Tuesday - Friday 9.00 a.m. - 4.30 p.m.
It is also hoped that it may be possible to open on one Saturday morning per month.
The Archives Office will be closed to the public on Mondays, most Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and on occasion at other times by prior notice.
If you wish to visit the searchroom, it will still be necessary to reserve a seat, and the number to telephone is Maidstone (0622) 671411 extn. 3363.
A wide range of local history publications and a selection of gift items will be available for sale in the new Archives Office shop.
