37, Købmagergade will become the House of Communication to an even wider extent with access to the museum's abundant collection of sources to the history of communication.

New Surroundings and Easier Accessibility

At the end of March 2007 the Study Centre in Valkendorfsgade closed down. During April and May we moved the library, archives, and large parts of our collections, and by 5th June we reopened for visits and attendance in 37, Købmagergade 37. But it will not be until the last week of September 2007 that we are completely done with establishing the newly furnished facilities with new possibilities of searching in the museum's collections.

The removal of the facility of the Study Centre will increase accessibility in every way. All offers are gathered at one and the same address and all floors are accessible by lift.

Library and Archives

Visitors with business in the library will have to inquire in the reception on 4th floor, where the most frequently used books have been placed. Please ask the librarian for books which are not on the shelves and please remember that it is possible to search in the books of the library from the museum's homepage. The opening hours have been extended to follow the normal opening hours of the museum.

Searching in Post & Tele Museum's collections and archives will be possible from search stations in the library area. Personal service by the personnel in the collections can also be arranged, but we recommend that appointments are made in advance if it is a matter of larger searches, lending etc. Study visits in the philatelic collections are also to be agreed in advance as hitherto.

Farewell to the Study Centre

Moving from 7-9, Valkendorfsgade means a farewell to the name "Study Centre" and to a cherished excursion spot for many people with a special interest in the history of communication. For ten years the house functioned as the Danish Post and Telegraph Museum until 1996 when it was closed to the public due to the building of Post & Tele Museum's exhibition in Købmagergade which opened in the autumn of 1998. Later the house re-opened in January 2000 as a Study Centre within Post & Tele Museum containing among other things library and study collection related to the history of telecommunication. The last-mentioned collection is not moving in. Together with a number of large objects it has been placed in an external warehouse, but the treasures were photographed beforehand so that it is possible to see all of them in databases.

We apologize to the users who have been prevented from visiting us the past months, but at the same time we have been looking forward to gather all possibilities under one roof and welcome everybody in more visitor-friendly surroundings.
