Dorset History Centre will be closed to the public for two weeks between Monday 25 November and Friday 6 December 2024 as we undertake Collections Fortnight.
Following the successful similar two-week period held in January 2024, we have assessed the volume of customer enquiries and visits we typically receive throughout the year and have concluded that the late-autumn is the least disruptive time to our customers, and have therefore moved the dates of our next Collections Fortnight forward from January 2025.
This two-week period will allow staff and volunteers opportunity to work on a range of activities that will help with collections and public access in the future.
Dorset History Centre will reopen on Wednesday 11 December 2024 like usual; and we will be opening on Saturday 14 December 2024 rather than the usual first Saturday of the month on this occasion.
We apologise for any inconvenience this period might cause, and look forward to welcoming you to Dorset History Centre in the future.
