DIOCESAN ARCHIVES -- The Synod office is planning to move from the Anglican Diocesan Centre to a temporary facility in early July. The Archives is now in the process of gradually and safely moving the bulk of its collection to a nearby temporary storage facility where we will replicate the arrangement for easy retrieval. This facility is within walking distance, so we will still have access to these records at any time. Retrieving information from records that are offsite may be a few days slower during the time that we occupy a temporary office space. After that, we hope to bring the entire archives holdings back together in one place within the new Synod Office building complex ("Phase II").

HOWEVER, we plan to keep "ON-SITE" in the temporary office, continuously handy to the Archivist for enquiries, the following most frequently accessed record groups:

In addition, of course, we will have our catalogue finding aid of the whole collection in hard copy AND searchable database form in the office as usual, which will help to speed up searches for any part of our holdings, wherever they are stored. For regular parish business and for those who are engaged in long-term research in the parishes, we can assure you that you will still have access to your records, and we are confident that regular Archives' services will not change significantly while the Diocesan Property Redevelopment is in progress over the next few years. -- The Diocesan Archives Committee.
