Archives UK has been helping people discover their family history since July 2009, with the aim of making research quick and easy. Our intuitive approach to genealogy means that you’re never far from getting the information you need. We keep our search tools simple, but behind the scenes, our extensive record collections are paired with powerful technology to deliver valuable results to you.

We're your one-stop shop for access to billions of digitized records and images, all under one roof. We forge strong partnerships to bring you exclusive content and the most essential collections. In August 2012, we became part of the Ancestry.com family, and with their support continue to develop an ever improving experience for you.

We continuously add to our collection of records, photos, newspapers, family trees, and much more. We not only strive to make family history research simple and affordable, but also to make it as rewarding to you as it should be.
