Welcome to Warwickshire County Council



County Record Office
About the County Record Office



What we do

The office collects, preserves and makes available the historic records of Warwickshire and its people. We have records dating from the 12th century onwards and our collections cover a wide variety of historical documents, from old title deeds to recent baptism registers.

Records are deposited with us on a regular basis, and we keep all records in a secure and safe environment so that they will be preserved for future generations.

The records can be accessed through our public searchroom, where you can request and view items from our collections.

You can also access some of our resources from home, and we can deal with certain types of enquiry by post or e-mail.

Who we are

There are 6 archivists and a conservator, as well as a number of archive assistants and administrative staff. The archivists and archive assistants staff the public search room and provide advice to visitors on starting their research.

We also have a conservation unit, which is responsible for the physical preservation of the records. Their duties involve repairing documents, ensuring that the strongrooms meet the optimum environmental conditions and producing surrogate copies such as microfilms and digital images.

Aims for our service

Every year we produce a service plan for the record office, which details the aims for our service for the year (1st April - 31st March). You can view a copy of the current 2009-2010 service plan by clicking on the link below.
