USING THE MIDLAND RAILWAY STUDY CENTRE



Copying and scanning facilities are available for suitable documents



The catalogue of the holdings is still under development but will already assist in most enquiries


Using the Study Centre is as simple as emailing, or writing to the Study Centre Coordinator, whose details are below. In order to help you find materials which will be of use to you, it is necessary to have a brief discussion about your researches.

Though anyone with an interest in the Midland Railway will find items to interest them, the nature of the Study Centre lends itself better to those with a specific subject they wish to find out more about. Even if the Study Centre turns out to be the best way forward to deal with your question, we have other resources available to help. Please use the “What else we can do to help” button above.

OPENING DATES FOR 2012

VERY IMPORTANT
Following the 'mothballing' of the Silk Mill Museum, it will be necessary for Derby Museums to divert staff from their normal duties in order to supervise the opening of the Study Centre. Weekends are particularly onerous in this respect. Therefore, if no visitors are booked-in for any of the below Saturday dates by the Friday lunchtime eight days prior, the opening will be cancelled so that the Museum can roster their staff accordingly. The cut-off point for weekday openings is two days prior.

Therefore it is imperative that you do not leave your enquiry until the last minute.
