Northumberland Archives holds the archives for the county of Northumberland. The archives are held at Woodhorn and Berwick-upon-Tweed and run by Northumberland County Council.[1]
The Diocese of Newcastle appointed Northumberland Archives their diocesan record office in 1966.[2] The Woodhorn office preserves and makes accessible the archival records of the diocese and the parishes within the diocese. The parish registers of baptisms, marriages and burials are frequently used by family historians. A list of the Anglican parishes and the registers which are available can be seen here.
In 2018 Northumberland Archives at Woodhorn was awarded full accredited status by The National Archives. The accreditation award is a badge of external recognition which demonstrates that the service meets nationally recognised standards. The full accreditation was reapplied for and awarded in 2021 and 2024.[2][3]
