Map Department Refurbishment - Restricted Fetching
Until April 2008 we will be unable to fetch certain items on Saturdays and during the week we will require at least 24 hours notice to retrieve these same items.
This is because part of the collection is stored within the vicinity of the refurbishment work and we have only restricted access to this area.
More information on the refurbishment of the Map Department can be found here.
The items concerned are listed below. However, please note that this list might change at short notice - please check it regularly.
If you are travelling to Cambridge especially to see a particular item we suggest that you telephone in advance to avoid disappointment.
