The Manchester Room and Greater Manchester County Record Office
About Us
The Manchester Room@City Library and the Greater Manchester County Record Office hold a wide range of material relating to the history of Manchester and family history.
The Manchester Room holds a wide range of local history books, microfilm/microfiche and computer sources.
The Greater Manchester County Record Office holds archive collections for the region. It also houses the archive collections for Manchester City Archives.
Please note that Greater Manchester County Record Office's microfiche and computer sources are now available at the Manchester Room@City Library.
An exciting new-look Central Library, beautifully and sensitively restored, will re-open in 2013. Its new archive centre will bring together a detailed and fascinating picture of our region's past, housing materials from a range of partners, including the North West Film Archive, Greater Manchester County Record Office, Manchester Register Office, Manchester and Lancashire Family History Society and the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Resource Centre, under one roof. Access, storage, interpretation and display will all be hugely improved, providing a fitting showcase for Manchester's treasures.
