About You

Carmarthenshire Archives Service holds thousands of historic records about our county's past. These include 14th century title deeds, estate maps, tithe maps, school records and parish registers.

Anyone interested in the records we hold is welcome to visit the Archive.

Opening Hours

Tuesday 9.30am -12.30pm & 1.30pm – 7.30pm

Please note that individuals wishing to use the Archive Service after 5.00pm on Tuesday need to phone by 5.00pm on the previous Friday to make an appointment.

Wednesday-Friday

9.30am - 12.30pm & 1.30am - 5.00pm

Visitors should note that no documents are produced in the half hour before our morning and evening closing times.

Research Service

If you are unable to visit the Archive Service in order to undertake research, we do offer a research service, for which we make a charge of £20.00 per hour. Anyone wishing to use this service is advised to contact us in advance with details of their enquiry, in order that we can estimate the likely cost.

Record Agents

The following is a list of private Record Agents who are willing to undertake research of records held by the Carmarthenshire Archive Service, and in some cases elsewhere. Arrangements must be made directly between the person commissioning the search and the Record Agent.

The fees charged by record agents vary greatly, and this is a private matter between enquirer and the agent.

Carmarthenshire Archive Service cannot be held responsible for any work carried out by record agents.

Inclusion on this list does not imply a recommendation by Carmarthenshire Archive Service.
