Archives or Local Studies?
Archives are documents or records created during the life of an individual, organisation or corporation. Normally unpublished many of these records will be unique to the Liverpool Record Office. Our archive holdings include photographs, council minutes, ecclesiastical and school records. For further guidance concerning archives and how to use them please consult our archive guides.
The local studies catalogue is currently under construction, but when complete it will house the estimated 100,000 records currently held in the Record Office. The items contained within the local studies catalogue will typically be published material such as books or journal articles.
