There you can view documents, photographs, maps and local newspapers relating to the county's history over four centuries - and our staff are at hand to help you find the facts you are looking for. If you require information about the area of the old Caernarfonshire you should enquire at Caernarfon Record Office, and for Meirionnydd ask in Dolgellau. We have an Archive Education Service to help teachers - and pupils doing projects. It is much the best if you can do your own research - only you know all the information you have and what is really of interest to you. However, if it is impossible to visit the record office, we have a postal research service but we have to charge for doing work for you.
More details are available in the county's record offices and libraries.
Anyone is welcome to call in the record offices, free of charge. We try to make you feel at home and give you any help you need. We ask you to sign the register each time you call, and you will need a Reader's Ticket . The staff can point you in the right direction. After deciding what documents are of interest, you will be asked to fill in a slip for each item you want to see, and a member of staff will fetch them for you.
