Established in 1884 this is the largest collection of local and family history material in the North East, we also collect current local material. Everyone is welcome to visit us and look at any of the collection but, as many items are rare or irreplaceable most of the collection is not on public display. To see anything just make your selection from our catalogues or ask a member of staff.
