Royal Berkshire Archives Tour

Come and see behind the scenes of the Royal Berkshire Archives, the Archives of the Royal County. We will take you where visitors are not normally permitted to go and take a look inside the archive storage and staff areas. There will be archives on display connected to the HOD theme of Architecture, as well as the people and places of Berkshire. Our conservation staff will provide details on the work that they do and show you the conservation studio too. You'll discover more more about the services we offer, the collections we hold, and how to visit to use the archives yourself.
