Archive and Archaeology Service
About the Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service.
From our base at The Hive, Worcester, we care for Worcestershire’s past for the benefit of present and future generations. Our friendly, professional Archive and Archaeology staff can give advice on anything from archival research to historical artefacts. We provide a variety of advisory and commercial, archaeological and archival services to historians, community groups and developers.
