*** IMPORTANT MESSAGE ***

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, we have ceased our front-line service until further notice.  The research room is closed and we will not be accepting deposits.  ** Unfortunately, it is no longer possible for the service to continue to respond to remote enquiries and correspondence.  Please do not send in requests via e-mail or post. **  You are encouraged to keep in contact via the Facebook page as we shall continue to post on Facebook.

Are you interested in your ancestors, the history of your house, the story of your village, parish, town, church, chapel or any aspect of Pembrokeshire's history? Pembrokeshire Archives and Local Studies holds historical sources ranging from a document from 1272 to last week's local newspaper. Amongst our many collections are census returns, parish registers, maps, photographs, deeds and letters. In addition we have a large range of local books and ephemera relating to Pembrokeshire and Wales.

There is no appointment system - but please bear in mind that the office can get busy. For your convenience you can book a computer or microfilm/fiche reader in advance of your visit. Original documents may be pre-ordered prior to your visit using the unique reference number from the online Archive Catalogue. Our public computers also allow free access to a range of online subscription resources, including Find my Past and Ancestry.
