Cornwall?s new archive centre, Kresen Kernow (Cornwall Centre), opened for research visits earlier this month.

Kresen Kernow brings together the world?s largest source of information and artefacts recording the people, places, history and culture of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Successive arson attacks in 2011 and 2013 had devastated the buildings? interiors, reducing several of the structures to little more than debris-filled shells supported by temporary propping.
