Haringey Archive Service is based at Bruce Castle Museum and Archive. Holding the London Borough of Haringey’s archive, special collections and local history library, these are available for the public to access by appointment in the Museum’s Search Room.
We welcome anyone wishing to learn more about the past of the local area. If you are intrigued by the history of a street, building or neighbourhood, or wanting to investigate records of a shop or business, or interested in stories about communities or members of your family - there’s so much to explore.
The Archive Search Room will be open for research visits by appointment from Wednesday 5 February.
Booking is essential.
We are here to help you get the most out of your visit and can advise on sources for your research. To discuss your visit and make an appointment please:

Every second Saturday of the month: 10am to 12.30pm and 1.30 to 4pm
