Explore our collections through a regularly changing programme of exhibitions.  Our displays cover many different topics and are a fantastic way for us to share highlights from our collections, our community work, and volunteer activities. In this section you can discover our current online displays, and find out how to book to attend an exhibition in person.

Thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Suffolk Archives have developed Sharing Suffolk Stories, a countywide range of activity and digital programmes which run until Spring 2022. These varied and fascinating projects are already engaging people with Suffolk’s archival heritage in new and exciting ways.      

Our collections are packed with things that can support classroom learning and bring history to life. As part of our National Lottery-supported project, we are developing a range of resources and sessions for primary and secondary schools. Find out what we can offer here.

Suffolk Archives' three branches are the ideal setting for your next meeting, reception, ceremony or conference. Dry hire, Day Delegate Rates, drinks packages and bespoke catering options are available from our on-site caterers. Discounted charity rates are also available.
