Catalogue search
The Hive is home to a huge range of print and online resources, all of which can be discovered through three online catalogue searches:
Search through the records for The Hive’s quarter of a million titles to find details of the books you can access in the building, as well as simultaneously searching the stock of all County branches. Links to online resources, such as Ancestry and a range of research databases, can also be found here.
While this search is available to all, if you are a University of Worcester student, you should log in to http://students.worc.ac.uk/ as usual to ensure access to your full range of educational resources.
University of Worcester Library Services
Library Services offers specialised services for University of Worcester students and staff as well as the local community.
Archaeology report search
Material held by Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service can be discovered through a variety of electronic and paper-based searches. For information about resources held in the Historic Environment Record (HER), a search can be made online through the Heritage Gateway.
For more detailed enquiries we recommend booking to see an HER officer at The Hive. They will be able to explain the resources and conduct more detailed searches with you.
Archives search
A significant proportion of the archive collections can be searched online.
The catalogue continues to grow as more and more collections are added, but does not include all our holdings yet and so you may need to search the paper catalogues at The Hive.
