You'll need a Hertfordshire Archives Reader's Ticket to view original archive documents at HALS. When you visit, bring proof of identity and address with a signature, such as:
- driving licence
- passport
- recent utility bill.
If you're unable to visit and need a copy of a document or help with your research, we can help. Documents are produced every half an hour from 9.30 – 12.30 and from 2.00 – 4.30. You can pre-order documents so they are ready for when you arrive. .
You can take your own pictures of documents when you come and visit. You can also download digital images from our microfilms to your memory stick. Ask us for a pass.
