Welcome to the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre, your passport to the past.
Wiltshire and Swindon has a rich and diverse heritage. The new History Centre brings together the archaeology, archive, buildings record, conservation, and museum advisory services together with the county local studies library to create a centre whose sum is much more than that of its parts. If you are researching your ancestors or trying to find out more about a town or parish in Wiltshire or Swindon, or if you want professional advice and guidance on other heritage issues, we are the ideal place to contact or visit.

Please use the links on the right hand menu to find out more about the different services we offer, and to prepare for your visit here.
We are normally open Tuesday to Saturday, 9.30 am - 5.30 pm
However please note that during our open day on Saturday September 27th, no original documents will be produced from the strongrooms. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
