Carmarthenshire’s record office is to close next month for stocktaking.
The archive at Carmarthen’s Parc Myrddin will shut its doors for the essential work to be carried out.
Researchers will be able to use the county council facility up until 4.30pm on Friday, December 3. It will then close and re-open at 9.30am on Tuesday, December 20.
Staff have apologised for any inconvenience caused by the closure.
Thousands of documents about the history, geography and life of Carmarthenshire are contained in the archives. Records date back from the 13th century to the present day.
Visitors came from near and far to trace their family history, look at the history of their property, street, or town, learn about famous Carmarthenshire people, landmarks or events and research work.
Senior archivist David Cooke said: “The role of the archives service is to collect and preserve archives relating to all aspects of the history of Carmarthenshire and make them available.
“It is essential that stock taking work is carried out and to do that we will need to close the record office.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused to researchers.”
