Norwich Archives:

The Archives is staffed Thursday 10-4 and visits are preferably by appointment. Because of limited space, we can only accommodate 2 or 3 researchers at a time or a group of 4 so "drop in" guests may be turned away.  Call or email to set up your time. The archives has volunteers there only on Thursday so planning ahead is necessary. If you wish to visit some other day appointments can be set up but plan well in advance as Thursday is the only day we are sure to be there and pick up emails or answer the phone.

The Archives closes for the winter in December. Volunteers will not be available to answer genealogy questions. General inquiries sent by email will be addressed once a week. Appointments are still available with the Archivist but a lot of lead time is required so email early about visiting. The Archives reopens in March.

The archives charges a $10 fee for research, but it is free with Historical Society membership.
