We have a small Reading Room in the Museum which researchers may visit by appointment only. Here you can study original documents from the archive, use digital copies, or watch audio-visual footage on Roald Dahl and his work.

Making an appointment to visit
1. Contact collectionqueries@roalddahlmuseum.org to discuss your research.
2. Provide us with a letter of recommendation from a referee supporting your study.
3. Once we have contacted you, make an appointment to visit the Reading Room and purchase a Reader’s entry ticket to the Museum.

Reader’s entry tickets:
We make a small daily charge for researchers who come to use the facilities in the Reading Room. A Reader’s Entry ticket also entitles you to free entry to the Museum galleries - it is the same price as an adult entry ticket.

Agreeing to the Reading Room rules
In common with many other archives and specialist libraries, we ask all researchers to sign a declaration saying that they agree to abide by our rules. This also includes a statement that copyright material is made available only for private study, and must not be published in any form without permission.

• No bags or coats are allowed in the Reading Room.
• No pens are allowed in the Reading Room - notes must be made in pencil.
• No food or drink is allowed in the Reading Room.
• Original documents must be handled carefully and appropriately, as directed.
• No cameras or scanners may be used, at the request of the copyright holders.

Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the Museum site.
