Kent Archives Office Searchroom Opening-Latest

Although a firm date has not yet been fixed, it is hoped that the new searchroom in County Hall will be opened at the end of October or the beginning of November. A grand official opening ceremony is being planned, with a celebrity guest to do the honors, though the County Archivist is not revealing any names at the moment! The service will get back to normal as soon as possible, though for the first few months, while reorganization takes place, there will be times when access to some collections will continue to be restricted.
