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.

In early September Angus Archives will be moving to its new home at the Hunter Library, Restenneth by Forfar. The Centre will close its doors on Friday 2 September and will open in its new home at Restenneth on Monday 19 September 2005.

During the closure, the archive service regrets that it will be unable to answer phone calls or emails but that normal service will resume on 19 September.

Researchers will soon be able to access the archives catalogue database, allowing them to discover ancestors in many individual documents. Opening hours will be 10am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.
