During the move to the new Record Office we will be closed to searchers from the end of 2009 for a period of at least three months, possibly extending to six. We will try to maintain access to records for essential users during this time.

Glamorgan Record Office serves the County Borough Councils of Bridgend, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Vale of Glamorgan and the City and County of Cardiff.

 It has over 8 kilometres of records in its strongrooms, dating from the twelfth century to the present day.
