The opening hours at the Archives which are on the bottom floor of Bury Library/Art Gallery are now Tuesday-Friday 10 - 3.30 p.m. and Saturday 10 - 1 p.m.
There are also duplicate copies of some of the collection at Ramsbottom Library

Most of the photographs have been scanned in and are on the Photographic Database. The originals are still held at Bury Archives, where they can be viewed.
