North Somerset Archive Service

We provide a library based archive and record service for North Somerset.

We do this with the help of the Taunton based Somerset Archive and Record Service which provides an archivist who visits libraries across the district once a month.

The office was established to locate, protect and give public access to records relating to the historic County of Somerset and has 1000 year old archives.

Its archivist is available on the following days at the following locations between 11am to 1pm and 2pm to 3.30pm:

The archivist offers the following services:

  • help to research family, house and local history
  • provide information on the material held in the archive
  • bring copies of documents for study purposes or even original material - at the discretion of office staff.

You can also search the Somerset Record Office online catalogue which is updated each month.

If you would like material brought from its headquarters you will need to make an appointment with the archivist by midday on the day prior to your visit.
