Teave
Kiired faktid: Ülemisel korrusel asuvas keskaegses lugemissaalis on tänaseni originaalsed tammepuust pingid, mille on sajandite jooksul õpetlased siledaks kulutanud, ning varahoidlas hoitakse ametiketti, mida linnapead on kandnud alates 1227. aastast. 1538. aastasse ulatuvad kohalikud koguduseraamatud täidavad terveid kappe koos üle 40 000 ajaloolise linnafotoga.
Esiletõstmised: Teatmikulaua taga lukustatud kapis hoitakse Salisbury hiiglast, 12 jala kõrgust pajuokstest ja lõuendist kuju, mida kanti paraadidel tänavatel aastatel 1496 kuni 1970. aastateni. Arhiivis asub ka 1220. aasta algne harta, mis andis Salisburyle loa katedraali ehitamiseks, ning kuningas Henry III vahapitsat on siiani terve.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Ask the librarian to see the 1698 fire insurance map, easily the most detailed layout of old Salisbury you'll find anywhere.
- Photography without flash is usually allowed in the reading room, but the strongroom is off limits to casual visitors.
- Bring a pencil, not a pen, since ink is strictly forbidden near archive materials.
- Wednesday mornings see fewer researchers, so you can request multiple documents without a wait.
