Find out about Buckinghamshire Archives move to High Wycombe
Buckinghamshire Archives is moving from Aylesbury to High Wycombe. The new site will provide significantly better facilities for the archives, customers and staff.
When Buckinghamshire Archives is closing and reopening
Buckinghamshire Archives will close to onsite visitors at our Aylesbury site (Walton Street) from 1 October 2026. This is so the team can carry out the complex preparations needed to move the archive.
The service will then reopen in High Wycombe at the new Denmark Street site in Spring 2027.
As of 1 September 2026, you can no longer deposit items with us. This is a temporary suspension in place while we pack up and relocate the archive to its new home.
We'll continue to receive records where we have a statutory duty to do so.
Contact us to make an appointment because we're unable to accept records without prior arrangement.
