Introduction to the Research Services

The links from this page will give you details of the type of material held here at the RE MLA as well as a guide to researching military history and the details of other archives which may be of use.

If you wish to undertake research from our collection we ask that you contact us on the telephone numbers below to make an appointment to visit our Reading Rooms. Our research facilities are currently open by appointment only and we do need at least two weeks notice of a visit in order to ensure that staff are available to assist and supervise. Reading Room procedures apply (see link).

RE MLA staff do not undertake research for public enquirers but we do hold a list giving details of private researchers who are happy to undertake work in on our archive and photographic collection (available on request). The Museum would be completely independent of any arrangements made between yourself and a paid researcher.

The RE MLA is currently undertaking a series of major development projects aimed at making our collection more accessible to researchers. The small curatorial team is therefore extremely busy. As a result it may be difficult to contact us by telephone but there is an answer machine which is regularly checked and we will respond to any message left.

If you have any questions relating to the above or would like to make an appointment please telephone us on 01634 822221 or 822261 or email us at mail@re-museum.co.uk.
