Shropshire Archives research service

Shropshire Archives research service

Shropshire Archives' comprehensive Research Service offers you the full resources of the collections without the need to travel to Shrewsbury.

Our experienced researcher will search the wide range of sources held in Shropshire Archives and help you with:

  • family history
  • house or building history
  • other aspects of local history
  • transcription and translation

Guidance on using the Research Service forms

It is important that requests for searches are as specific as possible. You should indicate clearly your search requirements with dates, places and any relevant information you already hold. Our research service leaflet gives more details and explains what you can expect from us.

If you would like us to research the history of your house, please download the research service house history order form. You will need to supply a modern grid reference or mark the location on a modern map of the area. For all other research or transcript requests, use the research service order form.

Please make sure you provide a postal address as well as your email address. This will enable us to contact you in the event that your email address is incorrect or fails to deliver.
