Angus Local Studies Centre is the storehouse for 800 years of the area's written heritage. Its collections contain royal charters, letters, diaries, plans, minute books, school log books, sasines, ephemra and much more.

These records can be used for researching all aspects of Scottish history, local history, family history, house history and social history. Also available are the records of the seven Angus Burghs of Arbroath, Brechin, Carnoustie, Forfar, Kirriemuir, Montrose and Monifieth and also of Angus County Council. There is a large collection of private papers and the records of local societies and businesses as well.

Together they provide a fascinating insight into life in Angus in the distant and recent past.

Researchers can access the archives catalogue database, allowing them to discover ancestors in many individual documents.

Opening hours are 10am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.
