Cambridgeshire Archives and Local Studies


Cambridgeshire Archives and Local Studies is dedicated to preserving and actively promoting the use of original historical records of Cambridgeshire, including the former counties of Huntingdonshire and the Isle of Ely.

Original archive documents can be consulted at the archive repositories in Huntingdon and Cambridge, while printed material and audio-visual resources are available in Cambridgeshire's Local Studies Libraries.

Please note that we are currently unable to accept donations or deposits of historical records at our Cambridge branch. This is due to the need to prioritise staff resource on preparing to move our records to new buildings. For more information, please follow the link in the right-hand column to "acquisitions policy."



 

An online searchable database, giving details about more than 100,000 unique historical documents held in Cambridgeshire's County Record Offices, is now available
