What we do

The Northamptonshire Record Office preserves over 800 years of our county’s history. We hold a range of documents covering the history of our county from Norman times to the present day. 

Our collections include a range of written documents, newspapers, diaries, maps, parish registers, photographs, engravings, paintings and antiquarian sources.

The aim of the Heritage Education Service is to make this information accessible to school children of all ages.

Free help and advice for teachers and student teachers wishing to use our services.

Curriculum based lessons/ workshops on site or in learning environments outside the Record Office.

Resource packs for teachers to use in schools.
