Staffing
On-site staffing is being kept to a minimum, which may at times lead to a delay in the fulfilment of requests for information, research and the digitisation of documents.
Enquiries
In addition to answering written enquiries (by email or letter), we are responding positively to requests for research and scanning and photography orders.
Enquiries for the William Salt Library and the County Museum should be sent to Staffordshire Record Office. We are also able to fulfil some customer orders for images.
