Glasgow Registrars seek to start ScotlandsPeople access end of February

From Glasgow Registrar Services:

Registrar Services are currently in discussions with the Mitchell Library, working towards a re-opening date for the end of February.  It is likely that the centre will open one day per week initially, with the hope of increasing this to two days per week over the following month. The centre will also be open one Saturday per calendar month.

Health and safety measures are currently being implemented to support the safe resumption of this service.

The appointment diary will open within the coming weeks as soon as a re-opening date for the centre is confirmed. This will allow customers to book a date in advance to visit the Genealogy Centre.

All of the above is subject to change dependant on future Scottish Government announcements/guidelines.

Thank you for your continued patience and support as we continue to face the challenges of the ongoing pandemic and the impact on our resources and services.

NB: Please note that the guidance from East Ayrshire Council regarding the Burns Monument Centre at https://www.glasgowfamilyhistory.org.uk/DiscoverLearn/GettingStarted/Pages/Registrars.aspx is inaccurate - the centre is still only offering pre-booked four hour slots, not full days as stated on the site, which was updated on January 11th.
