Description

Dumfries and Galloway Archives and Local Studies is the archive and local studies service of Dumfries and Galloway Council, based at the Ewart Library in Dumfries and administered within the council's library services. It is a nationally registered repository, holding ARCHON code 226 and listed on the Archives Hub as GB-226, and it maintains its own online catalogue. Its collections document the region across several centuries, and researchers reach them by appointment, with a professional research service available at an hourly charge for those who cannot visit. The service also works with a separately registered supporters charity, the Friends of the Archives of Dumfries and Galloway, formed in 2026.
