Lancashire Archives and Local History cares for 900 years of the county’s history. Millions of items are stored on 9 miles of shelving in the strongrooms in Preston. Our collections include everything from medieval parchments to digital sound recordings. We collect and preserve archives so that Lancashire’s stories will be told in the future and to ensure they are also available for everyone to use and enjoy today. We are an Accredited Archive Service and we are supported by an amazing team of volunteers and the Friends of Lancashire Archives.

Lancashire Archives forms part of Lancashire County Council's Cultural Services, which also includes the Lancashire Library Service, operating around the County and offering a range of services including access to local history collections maintained and accessed within library buildings.

A grant of £192,000 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and a further £30,000 from the Friends of Lancashire Archives, means we can get our exciting new project - Keeping East Lancashire in the Picture - off the ground.

We want to use the common ground provided by a shared local history to bring people together in Burnley, Pendle and Hyndburn.
