Churchill Archives Centre Open Afternoon

Home to over 600 collections on the history of modern Britain, the Archives Centre opens its doors for an open day. The Archives Centre looks after the papers of politicians, civil servants, social scientists, campaigners, journalists, military leaders, and scientists. Visit our reading rooms to see archival treasures from across our collections, including those documenting the history of modern Cambridge. Visit the document repair shop to find out how our conservators deal with dirty, damaged and decaying paper in the archives. Drop in to see demonstrations of the processes of cleaning, flattening and repairing old documents. And even have a go yourself! Meet our friendly team of archivists to learn more about both our collections and all the work that goes into sharing our collections.
