Unfortunately Gloucestershire Archives is unable to receive incoming phone calls at the moment. This is also the case with the Copy Certificates team for applications for birth, marriage and death certificates. We hope that this situation will be resolved as soon as possible, and will make another announcement when it is. You can still email us at archives@gloucestershire.gov.uk. We apologise for this inconvenience.
We gather, keep and share historic archive collections relating to Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire - and local and family history resources relating to Gloucestershire.
The archives are kept at our main Alvin Street site called the Heritage Hub in Gloucester, and you can use them in our public research room, free of charge.
Gloucestershire Archives is a Gloucestershire County Council service. We also provide an archive service for South Gloucestershire Council. The geographic area that these councils cover used to be a single county. Today, we call it the historic county of Gloucestershire.
Our opening times are Tuesday-Friday 9.00am-4.30pm.
Thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Gloucestershire Archives is running a two-year GREEN Pledge project to help record the county’s environmental legacy and drive forward climate action.
The project aims to encourage further environmental action by exploring climate change and involving people in green heritage activities.
