We are really looking forward to welcoming you back to our facilities as soon as the Scottish Government Route map allows. However, at the moment, all of our archive centres currently remain closed to the public.
Our team is working hard making plans and preparing the facilities for the return of our staff and customers to start the bounceback. This means that you will notice different procedures in place when you visit, all of which are designed firmly with safety in mind – our key priority being the safety of all those using our buildings.
We aim to begin our re-opening programme from late summer and will update our social media channels and website with more details as this begins. We will upload a welcome video for each facility shortly, to let you see some of the changes to the way you navigate the site and some of the measures in place to assist with social distancing etc., from when you arrive until you leave the building.
Until we are able to welcome you back in person we will continue to monitor our email and telephone messages, where we are able to do so, and we will respond to essential enquiries where possible.
We continue to offer our Family History 1-1 Consultation Service both remotely, by email, and online via Skype. To book an appointment please contact genealogy@highlifehighland.com in the first instance and we will be in touch to discuss your requirements in more detail.
Throughout the summer we will continue to run our series of ‘Learn with Lorna’ weekly talks which will be available across all our Facebook channels as well as on HLH’s You Tube channel.
We are also planning to offer a series of online archive and family history classes and will update our social media channels and website with more details when these are ready to launch.
