We’re the archives and local studies service for the historic county of Shropshire This includes the borough of Telford and Wrekin. We preserve and make accessible documents, books, maps, photographs, plans and drawings relating to Shropshire past and present. Onsite, we have 5½ miles of shelving, holding local material from 12th Century charters right up to yesterday’s Shropshire Star.

Around 6,000 people per year visit us, with many more reaching us via our website. We provide a service for schools, as well as an outreach and events programme. We also have many opportuntities for volunteers.
