Cumbria Archive Service
Cumbria Archive Service has Archive Centres in:

The Cumbria Archives Service map shows areas of Cumbria covered by our offices.
The Archive Service cares for parish registers, other church records, wills, electoral registers, maps and plans, poor law records, title deeds, and photographs.
The archives of many families, businesses, local authorities, solicitors, societies and schools also help form a fascinating record of all aspects of life in the county.
