Media and Group Visits
Tours of the Record Office
Arrangements can be made for groups of between 12 and 30 people to visit the Record Office in the evenings. This can be an opportunity to learn at first hand how the office works and to see behind the scenes. The visit may include an introductory talk, a tour of part of the office, and an exhibition of original documents, possibly including local material, by arrangement with the member of staff hosting the visit. Conservation demonstrations and strongroom tours may also be possible.
Arranging a Visit
Requests and arrangements should be made in writing several months in advance to ensure that staff will be available.
Talks
Talks on the work of the Office may be given to particular groups or organisations. We regret that talks and lectures cannot be geared to individual groups and societies - for example, it is simply not feasible for a member of staff to spend the weeks which would be necessary to research the history of a particular village in order to give a single lecture.
Use of Archives by the Media
Television companies and local news media seeking to use the records or facilities at Lancashire Record Office should consult our policy on access.
