There are millions of individual items in the collections, dating from the 12th century to the present day. For safe keeping and preservation, these are stored in environmentally-controlled conditions inside the Library's 'golden box'.

To view this material you need to make an appointment by e-mailing archives.appointments@birmingham.gov.uk giving details of what you would like to view and when you would like to visit.

Opening hours for the Wolfson Centre for Archival Research can be found here.
