Lancashire Record Office

Lancashire Record Office (LRO) looks after historic documents relating to the county from about 1115 to the present day. We accept as deposits a wide range of documentary material from various sources. The documents are made available to visitors and other enquirers through lists, catalogues and indexes.

Anyone can use the Record Office. We are open to the public and you can consult any of the records free of charge. You don't have to visit the Record Office to make use of its resources.

Staff can answer enquiries, some documents can be copied, and we provide talks on the work of the Office.

We can also arrange group visits and tours.
