Nottinghamshire Archives are the record office for the county of Nottinghamshire and the diocese of Southwell and Nottingham. Our archives date back to the 12th century and cover over 800 years of the county’s history.

We hold over 4 million archives, so there really is something for everyone!  You can explore our archives catalogue by visiting inspireculture.org.uk/archives.

Some of our collections are also listed on the Discovery, which is The National Archives catalogue. You can explore the Discovery catalogue by visiting discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk

Please note that if you have identified a document reference on Discovery then there is no need to check our own catalogue too. You may view the documents at Nottinghamshire Archives or request copies using the references found on Discovery.

You can get in touch with us at Nottinghamshire Archives by emailing archives@inspireculture.org.uk or calling 0115 958 1634, for further advice.
