This would be a highly damaging cut to a vital resource in Worcestershire for accessing historic material.

Access to archives is very important. No good having the information unavailable to those who require.

I’ do hope this does not happen. We need to keep knowledge & memory of the past alive.

Shortsighted. Maybe councillors should visit the Hive and talk to the people who use it.

The projected severe curtailment of funding would be a major threat to several areas: as a key resource for varied historical research, for local and regional identities, and for public understanding.

As a professional genealogist, Worcestershire's award-winning archives are a very valuable resource. We should be encouraging other counties to follow the Hive's unique collaboration, not cutting facilities for researchers, academics and students.
