Co-operative Archive Visit the archive Using our archive services - Updated for August 2020 (Covid-19): Our Archive has been closed to members of the public visiting in person since March 18th due to measures in place to prevent the spread of Covid - 19. Our staff have been on furlough leave and we have been operating a skeleton response to enquiries as a result. Some of our staff will be returning on a part time basis in August, although the archive will be operating reduced hours and for now, all access to materials will be remote. Archive staff will be working through a backlog of enquiries received to date and it may take longer than usual to fulfil some requests. Services which require additional staff time may be charged to cover the costs of reproduction / digital downloads and any research being undertaken on behalf of enquirers. We would like to thank you for your patience at this time. Contacting us: We remain contactable by emailing [email protected] during normal office hours and will continue to log all requests and deal with them as quickly as possible. We advise you to check the website regularly for any updates: Changes will be posted here as soon as they happen.
