Perth & Kinross Council Archive
Interested in finding out about your house, your
community or your family? Do you have a history project or essay to
do? Or perhaps you need to check a Council decision? With records
dating back over eight hundred years, the Archive is where you
can research the people and places of Perthshire and
Kinross-shire.
The Archive looks after records that have been
created by Perth and Kinross Council and its predecessors. We
also look after
community collections, those that have been created by
local families, individuals, estates, societies, communities,
organisations and businesses.
