You request will be processed by the archivist responsible for copyright. We will use the details you provide on your form to determine whether the record office has any objection to the publication of the items. We may have to consult with the depositors of the items, in which case it may be up to 28 days before we can respond to you.
Once we have made a decision, you will receive a letter from the Head of Heritage and Culture (Archives), Mrs Caroline Sampson.
The record office reserves the right to charge for the publication of items that it holds. Charges are levied at the discretion of the Head of Cultural Services (Archives). |
