Research
Enquiries from researchers are welcomed.
Textile, local history and social historians find the Archive a fascinating resource for study.
Access to the Archive for research is by appointment only Tuesday – Friday. Please provide the Archive team with at least 10 days notice, we advise you to have at least three dates in mind when you contact the Archive in case it isn’t possible to accommodate your first choice.
To help you prepare for a visit please note the following:
- When making an appointment have a clear idea of what you would like to see for example ‘19thC furnishing fabric’ is too broad!
- Please keep the number and size of bags to a minimum size/number.
- Bring with you a pencil to write with – ink pens may not be used.
- Photographs (without a flash) may be taken for personal use only. You will be asked to complete a disclaimer form. Digital photographs must not be downloaded onto any website without our permission.
- Food and drink cannot be taken in to the Archive. There is a coffee machine in the Gallery and the Archive is within walking distance of several cafes and restaurants including the Herb Café adjacent to Braintree District Museum in Manor Street.
- There is ample free car parking at the Archive. The bus and railway stations are less than a five-minute walk from the Archive. There is a regular bus service to Braintree from nearby Stansted Airport.
- There is a photocopier at the Archive – a small charge is made per sheet (A4/A3 colour or black and white)
- There is an extensive library within the Archive covering both the history of textile design as well as manufacturing techniques.
