LANCASHIRE Record Office is throwing open its doors to allow the public a behind-the-scenes peek at its archives.
Visitors on Saturday, September 20, from 10am-4pm, can book onto tours of the Bow Lane office and take a glance at areas normally closed to the public including the strongrooms. The event is part of the national Archives Awareness Month, themed of Love and Hate. In Preston an exhibition entitled 'Your Heritage' will focus on documents while a second display, 'A Few of Our Favourite Things', is about favourite documents, chosen by staff, from the eight miles of archives.
