Frequently Asked Questions
The thought of undertaking research can be intimidating but shouldn’t be. Anyone can do it; you don’t have to be a professor or lawyer, and you don’t need special permission. Everyone is a first-time user once and you can gain expertise very quickly. All you need to do is invest a little time.

Archives can be daunting because each one is a little different and generally people are less familiar with Archives than with libraries and museums. Archival research has you leading the process and direction of finding the information you seek. No fear there are staff to help. These FAQs will address some of your preliminary questions.
