Known issues
Visits to the University of Dundee's archives are by appointment only, and it's essential to book in advance due to limited public access. Thursdays and weekends are closed to readers. Some materials are restricted due to sensitivity or fragility, with clinical information closed for 100 years. If access is denied, staff may suggest alternative materials. To avoid inconvenience, check the university's website for updates and ensure all necessary documents are prepared before visiting.
