York Regional Archives at the Old Convent, Railway Street, York

The York Regional Archives is the hub of local history research in York. Our extensive collection of documents contains a wealth of research material on the many aspects of York's history. However if we haven't got what you're looking for then it's more than likely that we can tell you where you might be likely to find it. Did your ancestors live in York? We can provide information about where they may have lived, what they might have done and where they may have gone. Separate rooms are available for private research or our experienced volunteers will carry out research for a small fee.

Our Resources:
* Books and Journals
* A Database of Births, Deaths and Marriagespplications
* Cemetery Records
* Historical Maps and Plans of York and Districts
* Settlers Journals and Diaries
* Historical Newspapers: Eastern Districts Chronicle, York Leader, The York Chronicle
* We also manage the Shire of York historical archives which includes Minute Books, Rate Books and Correspondence files relating to local government matters.
