Archive Inspection
Summary
The State Archives Reading Room is open to the public for archive inspection on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8:00–14:30, by appointment. The State Archives holds records dating from 1878 to the present, as well as microfilms concerning Cyprus from archival collections in Venice and Britain. A dedicated microfilm reader is available in the Reading Room. Staff provide advice and guidance and help researchers locate records using finding aids, catalogues, registers, cards and other reference tools.
Researchers can consult the Archival Collections Index online and email a properly completed inspection application. For research in person, the researcher completes an inspection application, entering personal details and the codes of the records to be inspected. A separate application for copying records is completed if the researcher wishes to reproduce extracts. Researchers must comply with the “Reading Room Instructions”.
