We’re Open

  • 2nd July 2012

After years of planning, and months of hard work by our very dedicated staff we have finally reopened Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service at The Hive!

We’re all excited and nervous in equal measure to see what the public and all our existing users think of the new service.

We are looking forward to seeing it in action at last and we hope to see you all here soon!
