Description

The current base at 84 Union Street is currently closed to the public. A new temporary home for the service will open in March 2024 within Oldham Library, prior to the move to Spindles when the new permanent archives centre is created.

Moving to a new site is a huge task and we will have to reduce some of our archives services until this work is done.

Users of all Oldham libraries will still be able to enjoy free access to family history websites, including Ancestry and FindMyPast, as well as to census information from 1841 to 1921 online on our public computers.

From March 2024 we will be able to offer our popular Local Studies service in the main library, with access to newspapers on microfilm and a fantastic range of local history publications.
