Planning your visit to MALSC
Book your session
Access to original archive material at the Medway Archives and
Local Studies Centre (MALSC) is by appointment only and requires a
County Archive Research Network (CARN) reader's ticket.
To apply for a CARN reader’s ticket, you must bring two
passport-size photographs and formal proof of identity showing your
name, address and signature, such as a driving licence, utility
bill and passport.
While some local studies material, such as printed books and
maps, are available without appointment, many resources, such as
film readers and computers, require advance booking.
