Due to an engineering issue with some of our mobile shelving at Cambridgeshire Archives, we are currently unable to produce certain records from our strongroom. Please contact us in advance of your visit so we can advise as to whether any of the documents you wish to consult are affected. We apologise for the inconvenience. Our Property Department colleagues are working hard to resolve the problem. We will provide an update as soon as we are able.
