Our Research Centre is open for anyone with either Dorset or non Dorset ancestors for you to conduct your own research in our Research material.
The centre will be open Monday/Wednesday/Saturday from Wednesday 21st July 2021 10.00 – 15.00. However, should we need to amend this due to any Covid Government Guidelines our ‘News’ page will keep you informed. You are welcome to contact us directly prior to your visit, particularly if you are travelling some distance.
While we learn to live with Covid, we want to ensure the safety of both visitors and our volunteers, so we ask you to help us to minimise the risks by;
– making use of the hand sanitisers on arrival
– considering your own personal circumstances and be considerate of volunteers/other visitors
– being aware of current or changing guidance in respect of the use of masks. Although these will no longer be a legal requirement please consider others, particularly should the centre become busy, when moving around or seeking help from our volunteers. Please bring a mask with you.
– continuing to use the QR code for the NHS Test & Trace service. Contact details will be taken if you are unable to use the QR code, for the purpose of NHS Test & Trace.
– not visiting Treetops if you are unwell or have any symptoms of Covid
– informing us if have you have been contacted by NHS Test & Trace within 14 days of your visit.
