In line with the special work arrangement announced by the Government on July 19, the Government Records Service (GRS) announced that during the period between today (July 20) and July 26, the Search Room of the Public Records Office (PRO) will only open on Monday for users who have made a reservation for holdings through the online catalogue. The quota is seven users which will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis. Public services to be provided will be limited to:
1. Loan and circulation service for reserved holdings; and
2. Self-service reproduction of holdings.
The above services will be suspended for those who have not made an online reservation for holdings.
Exhibition Hall in the Hong Kong Public Records Building will also be closed. Visits and public education programmes will continue to be suspended until further notice.
The above measures will be implemented until July 26 when they will be reviewed. Members of the public may visit the GRS website (www.grs.gov.hk) and PRO Facebook (www.facebook.com/grs.publicrecordsoffice) for updates. For enquiries, please email proinfo@grs.gov.hk.
