Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives to close for several months from June for relocation

Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives (https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/services/libraries-and-archives/aberdeen-city-and-aberdeenshire-archives) is due to close from 10th June 2024 until Spring 2025 in order to move its entire collection to the Town House - here's the full announcement:

Aberdeen City & Aberdeenshire Archives will be vacating its building at Dunbar Street in early 2025.

To prepare, pack and move the archive collections it is necessary for our opening hours to reduce from April 2024, as follows:

 

1 April - 3 June:

Old Aberdeen House open Mondays (by appointment only) 09:30 to 16:30.

Town House open Fridays (by appointment only) 09:30 to 16:30

 

10 June onwards:

Both Old Aberdeen House and Town House will be closed.

 

The Town House search room is scheduled to reopen in Spring 2025 (with access to collections formerly at Old Aberdeen House at this site by prior arrangement).

 

Our research service has also been temporarily suspended and, whilst e-mail enquiries remain open at archives@aberdeencity.gov.uk, we may not be able to answer all queries whilst access to our collections is limited.

 

We look forward to updating you with our plans in the future.
