Oldham Archives is on the move from Oldham Library.
The service will temporarily close over the summer as it relocates to a brand-new, purpose-built home in the redeveloped Spindles.
The current facility will close at 4pm on Saturday, May 31, 2025, and in-person access to the original, printed, or digital collections will be unavailable until it reopens in Spindles.
For more information and opening dates contact archives@oldham.gov.uk or call 0161 770 4654.
