History
The Archives were set up in 2008 during the refurbishment of Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, and was designed by Demco Interiors.[2] It was set up to combine the former Coventry Archives and Local Studies Library.[3]
In September 2018, the Coventry Archives underwent a name and brand change. It was renamed after the old 'Coventry History Centre'.[citation needed]
