How to find us, opening times, access to original records and how to book a seat.
Opening hours
Temporary Closure in September
Oxfordshire Record Office will close for at least three weeks in September for building work. Please ring 01865 398200 for updates as they become available. No bookings will be taken for that month.
Thereafter building work will continue until the end of December. The Office will be open during normal hours, but there will be noise and dust, and wheelchair access will be through the staff entrance. Parking will be limited to allow for contractors' materials.
The new strongroom will be used to house the Oxfordshire Health Archives, which will be available in the building from February 2011.
