O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Srednjovekovna čitaonica na spratu i dalje ima originalne hrastove klupe koje su vekovi učenjaka uglačali, a lanac službe koji nose gradonačelnici grada od 1227. godine čuva se u trezoru. Lokalni crkveni matični registri koji datiraju od 1538. godine ispunjavaju čitave ormare, zajedno sa preko 40.000 istorijskih fotografija grada.
Istaknuto: Iza referentnog pulta, zaključana vitrina čuva Solzberijskog džina, lik visok 12 stopa, načinjen od pruća i platna, koji je nošen u povorkama ulicama od 1496. do 1970-ih. Arhiv takođe čuva originalnu povelju iz 1220. godine kojom je Solzberiju data dozvola da sagradi katedralu, sa netaknutim voštanim pečatom kralja Henrija III.
Insajderski saveti
- 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.
