The Archives are open to members of the IET, academic researchers and any member of the public with a genuine research topic.
Before your visit
Before you visit us it would be useful if you look at our online catalogue and search for the material that you require. We ask that you make an appointment with us before your visit as researcher space is limited.
It is possible to order items in advance if you know the reference numbers but if you require further help there are qualified staff on hand to assist you and recommend suitable material for your research.

On your visit you will be shown to our supervised researcher desk and asked to sign our visitor book and read our rules which are summarised below.
The reason for these rules is to ensure that the unique and sometimes fragile material is handled correctly for their future preservation and access for others.
