For more than thirty years since it was established in 1973, Doncaster Archives has taken a remarkable variety of records into its safekeeping. Using the online catalogue you can search for information from a wide range of these archival sources, including local government records, school records, church and parish records, business records, estate papers, the records of local clubs, societies, voluntary organisations, political parties and trade unions, solicitors’ records, as well as maps and photographs relating to the local area.

The catalogue is updated on a regular basis. All collections held by the service have a general description including title, covering dates and brief description of contents.

Please remember, however, that the catalogue is very much a work in progress. If you do not find what you are looking for, it does not mean that we don’t have relevant material. For further details of our holdings please contact us: doncaster.archives@doncaster.gov.uk.

We also have a separate Place Name Index, and many of our collections are listed on the The National Archives Discovery web-site.
