Brent Archive

Brent Archive can help you find out more about the local area and its history. We hold old photographs, postcards, local newspapers dating back to 1877, historical maps and electoral registers. We also have reference books, building plans, street directories and council minutes. We can help with your family history and offer educational projects based on the local area. If you have a detailed enquiry you would like help with, it is best to book an appointment.
