Highland Archive Centre
Highland – Inverness, Black Isle, Easter Ross
This iconic, award-winning building, constructed at a cost of £10.5 million, with the aid of Heritage Lottery Funding, was opened in 2009. It is the state-of-the-art home for the historic records of Inverness-Shire, Ross & Cromarty, Sutherland and Nairnshire; and houses documents dating from the 13th century to the present day, including maps, records of schools, poor relief, churches and businesses, alongside family and estate papers. The building is also home to a Family History Centre, the Inverness Registration Service (with two wedding ceremony rooms and access to the Scotlands People network) and Highland History and Culture website Am Baile.
This year for Doors Open Day we will be giving tours of the building at 10.30am, 12.30pm and 2.30pm (booking essential) as well as providing displays of archive material from across the centuries (no booking required).
