Large pictures from the store will be made available for viewing in the adjoining Beverley Art Gallery.
A very small number of historical objects, particularly high value and/or delicate archaeological finds, may need the presence of a curator and therefore advance booking will be required. Further information about the Museum Service collections is given in the Access to Museum Collections section.
For security reasons, a County Archives Research Network (CARN) reader's ticket will be required to use the area of the Research Room where the historical items are made available for viewing.
Information about the system is given in the Visiting Us section. The area of the Research room where reference books, microfiche material and reference material online can be consulted, does not require a ticket to be used.
For further information about the services provided by museums, libraries and archives and to search an online catalogue go to Museums, Libraries, Archives Services section.
