Norfolk Record Office Events


Norfolk Record Office has recently confirmed two new series of events, one at Norfolk Record Office: The Archive Centre (on Martineau Lane) and the other at Norfolk Record Office: Norfolk Heritage Centre (inside the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library).

Lunch-time talks
At Norfolk Record Office: The Archive Centre, we present four fascinating lunch-time lectures in partnership with the UEA School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing. The talks encompass the requisition of five Norfolk villages in 1942, autobiographer Margery Kempe, using archives to ‘create fiction from fact’ and looking at how our 17th century counterparts understood heritage.
More details here:

Behind-the-scenes tour
There will also be the opportunity to see behind-the-scenes on a very special tour opportunity in association with Norfolk’s Great Big Read. Find out more about us, experience the conditions in our strongrooms, find out how our conservators care for our books, and see some original manuscripts first-hand. Book online at Eventbrite: Behind-The-Scenes tour or call 01603 222599.

Heritage Hours
At Norfolk Record Office: Norfolk Heritage Centre, we can now reveal the April to June Heritage Hour programme which includes research clinics as well as talks on various topics, from workhouses to Robert Toppes, medieval mercer of Dragon Hall.
Further details here:
All of these events are free, and no booking is necessary except for the tour.

Open Evening
Finally, we are pleased to announce that we will be hosting an Open Evening from 4-5:30pm on Thursday, 3 April – all are welcome for a look around and to ask questions about who we are, what we do, and how we can help you. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided!

* Our thanks go to Elizabeth Budd, acting Archive & Education Outreach Officer, for providing us with this information.
