Refugee Archives – Changes to Opening Hours and Staff Availability
This is a quick note just to update everyone on some forthcoming changes to the opening hours and staffing arrangements for the Refugee Archives and to detail the Saturday Opening timetable for Semester B.
There are three main strands to this message and these will be detailed as follows:
1). Due to unforeseen circumstances, Paul Dudman, (the Archivist), will be away from the office for a two week period between Monday 2nd February and Friday 13 February. A reduced Archive service will therefore operate during this period and please enquire at the Library Enquiry Desk for further information, (Tel: 020 8223 3434).
2) From Monday 16rh February when Paul Dudman returns to the Archive, he will only be available in the Archive during the normal office hours on Mondays (
3) The initial plan for Saturday openings in Semester B will be to open the Archive on the dates listed below. Hopefully there will not be any changes to this list but it is still provisional until I can confirm the dates on my return. I will let you know as soon as possible when the official dates are know.
The provisional dates are therefore as follows:
Saturday 21 February :
Saturday 21 March :
Saturday 28 March:
April No Saturday Opening Possible.
Saturday 9 May :
Saturday 16 May :
Many thanks in advance for your help and co-operation. Any questions then please email us at: Library-archives@uel.ac.uk
Yours Sincerely,
Paul Dudman
Archivist.

Saturday Opening
Just a very quick remainder that the Refugee Archive at UEL will be open this coming Saturday, Saturday 06 December, between 10am and 5pm. This is the last Saturday opening before Christmas so any donations of mince pies will be very much appreciated.
The Archive will also be open on Saturday 10 January 2009, between 10am and 5pm, as I believe this is just before the deadline for some of the assignment submissions.
