Welcome to the Norfolk Record Office website MLA Designation logo

The Norfolk Record Office collects and preserves records of historical significance for the county of Norfolk and makes them accessible to as wide a range of people as possible. It is a joint service of the County and District Councils of Norfolk. In 2005, the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) granted Designation status to the Record Office's entire collection. The National Archives has judged the Norfolk Record Office to be a four-star archive service.

County Archivist: Dr John Alban.
