Gateways to the Past - Evening classes at the Norfolk Record Office

These new courses look at the history of our county, and at the archival sources that bring this history to life. These courses are for everyone, whether you are a newcomer to Norfolk or have lived here all your life.

The three courses each run for ten weeks, from 7.00 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. on Wednesday evenings. The occasional session will be 'in the field' rather than at The Archive Centre.

Price: £80 per ten-week term. Booking details below.
