The Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre is home to over 800 years of history, holding records that tell the story of the county and its people since the 12th century. On its eight miles of shelves are stored diaries, letters, books, maps, photographs, oral histories, and more, that connect Wiltshire with local, national and international events, people and places. These records were produced in the course of everyday personal, legal, business and administrative affairs, and now form a significant source of historical information for all aspects of life in Wiltshire. The Wiltshire and Swindon Archives was established in 1947 to preserve these records and make them available to the public and to academic researchers.

There are three local archives covering the historic county of Devon, England. The Devon Heritage Centre in Exeter is the main archive. It has a branch office, the North Devon Record Office in Barnstaple, which is the repository for records broadly relating to North Devon. Devon Heritage Centre holds all types of historical archives relating to the county of Devon and the City of Exeter (excluding Plymouth). They include records of churches and chapels, of county, district and parish councils and of many families, estates, schools and other organisations.

The Hampshire Archives and Local Studies, located in Winchester, United Kingdom, is home to historic documents relating to Hampshire and Hampshire families.

Home to the archives of the Royal County of Berkshire, the Berkshire Record Office holds records encompassing nearly 900 years of history.

Bristol Archives was established in 1924. It was the first borough record office in the United Kingdom, since at that time there was only one other local authority record office in existence. We look after the archives of the city of Bristol and surrounding areas, as well as the British Empire & Commonwealth Collection.

Bristol Central Library is a historic building on the south side of College Green, Bristol, England. It contains the main collections of the public library. Built in 1906 by Charles Holden, its design was influential in the development of Edwardian Free Style architecture.
