Temporary closure 2012
The Dorset History Centre will be closed for 3 weeks during 2012.
During 2012, the Dorset History Centre will be undergoing significant building work in its public research areas and other areas of the building.
This work was originally scheduled for early 2012, but due to reasons beyond our control, this has unfortunately been delayed. Further information on the final date of the building works will be posted here as soon as it is available.
The work will create improved public facilities and allow staff to better manage the building.
In addition, upon re-opening, the Dorset History Centre will become the new home of the Dorchester Register Office. The two services will operate a shared reception facility.
Because of these changes, the History Centre will be closed to visitors for 3 weeks.
At this stage, it is not possible to give the precise dates when work is due to take place. If you making advance bookings for travel or accommodation, please contact us in advance for advice on likely closure dates.
