About
A free drop-in session exploring the Cathedral Archives with a display of original items and the chance to chat with the Cathedral Archivist.
Visitors can drop in to the Library & Archives Reading Room for a relaxed look at a specially selected display of original items from the Cathedral's collections. The Cathedral Archivist will be on hand to discuss what archives are, how records are cared for and the role of an archivist today. The event is part of the national Explore Your Archive Campaign and is pitched as an introduction for history-lovers of every age and background.
