Family History

The Service collects and preserves historical records of all kinds dating from the twelfth century to the present day. More information about the kinds of archives we keep can be found in the sections on family history and local history, or you can explore our online catalogue. Please contact us if you would like further help and advice on available documents. We are always interested to hear from people who have records they would like to deposit with us.
