What services we offer

We offer: 
  • Free access to the internet, available with the use of a Suffolk library card, obtainable at any library or online  
  • Free searchroom service If you have ancestors that come from Suffolk or you wish to research something in or about Suffolk itself, why not come and visit us?  Our trained and knowledgeable staff are on hand to advise both beginners and experts on using the records, so ask them to help you. Anyone can view the archives; we have some of the more popular records - like the parish registers, census returns and newspapers - on microfilm or microfiche to make it easier for you to use them and to save wear and tear on the originals
  • Research service If you're investigating anything to do with Suffolk and live many miles away, or simply don't have enough time to do the research yourself, we can find out the information for you.  Just tell us what you need
  • Copying service We can supply you with copies of many of our documents in our collections, in a variety of formats
  • Parish register copying service If you are researching your family history and live many miles away, or simply don't have enough time to visit us, we can supply all types of Suffolk parish registers to you on either microfiche or microfilm
  • Workshops, talks and courses
  • We offer a number of services to help you to care for your own archives from archive friendly paper clips to conservation.  Have a look at our price list to find out more.  Record Offices and other institutions are designed to provide the optimum conditions for the preservation of archives, but private individuals can also ensure survival of their archives if certain general principles are followed.  Why not check out more about this using our Caring for Your Archives leaflet (choose leaflet number 6)
