Northumberland
Archives
Trust

In an evolving world, the Northumberland Archives Trust is a charity that supports the county’s Archive Service, strengthening the connections between the Archives and its communities and promoting the integrity and evidential value of Archives, regardless of format. We do this by seeking grants for ambitious inspiring projects which share the powerful stories hidden between the pages to increase understanding of the county’s rich heritage and global relevance: today and tomorrow.  

Northumberland's archives (the records of its history and people) are a rich resource for students, those researching their family history, academics and many others.

The Northumberland Archives Trust works alongside the county's Archives Service to help sustain and promote access to Northumberland's rich inheritance of historic records of all sorts, for the benefit of everybody in the county and beyond.

With the help of our supporters, we raise funds to ensure archives throughout Northumberland are saved from destruction, preserved, catalogued and made available online, so that all can use them.

Please help us ensure this incomparable resource is handed on to benefit not only today's but future generations.
