SRO Lunchtime Seminars are designed to inform researchers about the State Records Office, its functions and the collections it houses and also about the research that is being carried out using the States' archives. It also provides researchers with an opportunity to meet fellow researchers, learn about members of staff, and provides a forum for questions and discussions in a relaxed and friendly environment.
