North East Wales Archives

North East Wales Archives is a joint service for Denbighshire and Flintshire archives. We collect historical records relating to North East Wales, and preserve them for future generations. We hold a wide range of original records, including registers of baptisms, 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 may need to use primary sources for a school or university assignment. You can come to our office at Ruthin or Hawarden and use the archives for free, and we do not charge for general advice about our collections.
