Between Monday 24 November and Saturday 6 December 2025, Dorset History Centre will be closed to the public for two weeks for our annual Collections Fortnight.
This period offers us a chance to work on collections and material which need attention, but that we are otherwise unable to get to when we are open. You can learn more about what we achieved during the last Collections Fortnight here.
We regret that during this period we will be unable to answer emails or enquiries, or welcome researchers into Dorset History Centre. We will endeavour to answer all enquiries received during this period as quickly as possible from Monday 8 December. We will then reopen to the public on Wednesday 10 December 2025, and will be open on Saturday 13 December (rather than the more usual ‘first Saturday of the month’).
We thank-you for your patience during this period, and apologise for any inconvenience it might cause.
