The Royal Berkshire Archives (formerly the Berkshire Record Office) holds the archives of the Royal County of Berkshire. We look after nearly nine hundred years of the County's history.
You can explore Berkshire's past and discover more about our holdings, how to use us and see some of the treasures from our collections, just by clicking on any of the links within the website.
We are now closed for Easter including the Bank Holidays of Friday 29th March 2024 and Monday 1st April 2024 and we do not open at weekends. We will reopen at 9am on Tuesday 2 April 2024.
Please bear this in mind if contacting us over the Easter weekend as we will not see or process any enquiries until we reopen on 2nd April 2024.
