PDFHS ARCHIVES & NAMES INDEX
The Archives are made up of donations from members and others plus transcriptions organised by the Society.
Much of the material relates to the Peterborough area but there also many that relate to the rest of the UK and Overseas .
To avoid any data protection issues, we do not publish archive names from 1900 unless that information is already in the public domain.
PLEASE NOTE
These are not the official archives for Greater Peterborough – those are in the County Record Offices at Cambridge, Huntingdon or Northampton depending on the historic county in which the parish was situated.
The Local Studies Centre, Peterborough Central Library has copies of some of the information, especially Parish Registers as well as microfilm of local newspapers. (www.vivacity-peterborough.com/libraries-and-archives/archives).
The Names Index lists over 200,000 entries of individuals mentioned in our archives and is the main tool to identify the actual archive(s) which may be of interest to you (search instructions below).
Once identified:
Members can immediately download PDFs of the actual archives in the Members Area.
Non-members or their representative can inspect the archives free of charge at the Archivist’s address in Peterborough by appointment only. Should distance make this very difficult please email the Archivist (see Contact) to discuss inspection alternatives.
Obviously, becoming a member will avoid this delay.
PDFHS Publications
Peterborough & District Family History Society Membership provides online access to ALL the Society's archives. We therefore no longer sell extracts from our archives as for virtually the same price a member can access all the information. Anyone who requires Archive information but does not wish to join should contact the archivist to see what can be done (see Contact).
