Story

We collect historical records relating to Denbighshire, and preserve them for future generations.

We hold a wide range of original records, including registers of baptisma, burials and marriages, newspapers, photographs, maps, court records, deeds, trade directories and more. Our records date from the twelfth to the twenty-first century.

The records in our collections can be very useful if you are researching your family history, or the history of your house or local area. You may also need to look up a record for legal or official purposes.

You can come to the office and use the archives for free, and we do not charge for general advice about our collections. We can carry out a 'quick search' (e.g. a single parish register entry) on your behalf free of charge.
