Personal study workshop

Personal study workshops begin with an introduction to The National Archives, an explanation of how to use the Catalogue to search for and order documents, and a tour of the reading rooms with an explanation of how to use the facilities here. This lasts for approximately one and a half hours.

Once the introduction is over, you are then free to spend the rest of the day here ordering documents and carrying out research. The Education Officer leading your visit will remain on hand to give additional advice and help where needed.
