At least three times in the last year, Northumberland Archives at the Woodhorn Museum has been closed for the day due to having no archivist available for duty in the Search Room. The computers have also been down a few times, so no access to Ancestry Library edition or anything else online!
So if you are planning a visit, a phone call might save a wasted journey, especially if you are travelling a fair distance.
As they presumably rely on enough people using the Archives to keep the existing opening hours viable, this seems so be a case of "use it or lose it" ? But if people turn up and find them unexpectedly closed............... will they bother making a return visit?
