Closure of The National Archives on 5 November 2004

We regret that The National Archives at Kew will not be open for the public to visit on Friday 5 November 2004.

Due to a national strike by members of the Public and Commercial Services Union, it has been decided on health and safety grounds to take this step.

We will be open again as usual on Saturday 6 November 2004.

We would remind you that all our online services are available as usual and hope that you will make full use of these.

We apologise for the interruption in our services.
