To help you find information from the Archive's collections, volunteers from the Friends of P&KC Archive have been working on creating different kinds of electronic finding aids.

Our online databases are currently unavailable due to a technical issue, which we are working to resolve. If you have a specific enquiry, or are looking for a named individual, please get in touch with the Archive Team (archives@culturepk.org.uk or 01738 477022) and we will be pleased to help with your research.

They are each on different topics, ones we think will be of interest to you. Some of them re-create the information of the original documents, while others point you to which collections are likely to hold the kind of material you are seeking.
