Description: | Rochester upon Medway City Archives opened to the public in April 1990. The service was funded, equipped and housed by Rochester upon Medway City Council. Three staff were employed at the office on the staff establishment of Kent County Council, then Archives Authority, who recharged the City Council for their salaries.
In April 1993 Rochester upon Medway Studies Centre was launched, combining Rochester upon Medway City Archives and Kent County Council's Rochester upon Medway area library service local studies collections.
In April 1998 upon the creation of the Medway Council unitary authority, the service was renamed Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre and the staff transferred to Medway Council. | Source: | MLA Institutions Server | Sector: | Archives | Type: | Local/Regional government | Jurisdiction: | Medway Council | Identifier: | 34942 |
