O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Zgoraj v srednjeveški čitalnici so še vedno prvotne hrastove klopi, ki so jih zgladila stoletja učenjakov, v trezorju pa hranijo verigo župana, ki jo nosijo mestni župani že od leta 1227. Lokalne župnijske matične knjige, ki segajo v leto 1538, polnijo cele omare, skupaj z več kot 40.000 zgodovinskimi fotografijami mesta.

Poudarki: Za referenčnim pultom je v zaklenjeni omari Salisburyjski velikan, 12 čevljev visok kip iz protja in platna, ki so ga po ulicah nosili od leta 1496 do sedemdesetih let 20. stoletja. Arhiv hrani tudi izvirno listino iz leta 1220, ki je Salisburyju dovolila gradnjo katedrale, z ohranjenim voščenim pečatom kralja Henrika III.

Notranji nasveti

  • 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.
