The archives contribute so much so many to so many people. They have inspired me personally for over 50 years, firstly in my own education, then in searching for family history and helping others to do so. They help young people to understand and enjoy the past and older people to look back at their own past. Then there is the whole field of academic research for which the Archives and the University are justly proud.

It is essential that this Archive Service is protected at this level and not subject to such harsh cuts proposed by Worcs C.C.

These archives must be available to all of us, adult and children, researching local and family history as well as parish records. We are already behind many other counties in the availability on-line so the physical records must be available to all who need them. Please reconsider any cuts; our service is award winning and MUST stay open and available to gain more awards and bursaries.

This wonderful service is not a luxury. It’s essential for the future and for our children’s education.

This is a very valuable service which serves the whole of Worcestershire. The effects of the cuts will be damaging in respect of research and education. They must NOT happen

Its not just historians who use archives. A community loses some of its identity if it loses sight of its history.

Such a budget cut would be tragic, limiting access to information which needs to remain accessible to all.

Our historical records belong to our future. If the service is removed it won’t be back.

I live in Australia, was born in New Zealand. My grandmother’s family is from Worcester. To lose this resource would be a travesty

How can the service survive if such a swingeing cut is made?

False economy. If we lose it we cannot get it back.

Our history needs saving, for those who forget their history will repeat it.
