Access to Restricted Records

Some of the records in our care contain personal information about living individuals, or other sensitive information, for example hospital records, school records, court records, etc. In such cases, records may be marked as 'closed' for a set period of time, often 100 or 80 years from the date that the document was created. Closed records are not generally available to view in our public searchroom, but we have procedures in place to allow access to the records in certain circumstances.

If in doubt about the material you wish to consult, please do contact us.
