The Northamptonshire Record Office holds over 800 years of the county's rich archival heritage, which can be accessed free of charge on site.
The archives cover all aspects of life in Northamptonshire, and the people who lived there.
The documents, which are held in special storage conditions, include many types of records, such as court rolls, parish and nonconformist registers, maps, letters, diaries, accounts, minute books, wills and photographs.
These records are useful for family history or other historical research.
Look out for The Wild Escape at museums and galleries in the next few months. Many have special events, or you can use our audio introduction to help children get involved at any cultural venue.
Visiting with children?
Use our audio introduction to inspire a visit to any museum, gallery or historic house local to you. Then, just send us your child’s animal artwork when it's finished and we'll add it to the epic collective artwork that launches on Earth Day 2023.
The more you see, the more we do.
The National Art Pass lets you enjoy free entry to hundreds of museums, galleries and historic places across the UK, while raising money to support them.
