Archive Centres

Tasglannan

Archives are the records of official bodies, companies, societies and individuals which have been identified as being worthy of permanent preservation. They need to be preserved in secure and environmentally controlled conditions because they form a unique record of our past.

There are four archive centres which make up the Highland Archive Service. The hub of the service is the Highland Archive and Registration Centre which is based in Inverness.

The three other offices are Caithness Archive Centre in Wick, Lochaber Archive Centre in Fort William and Skye and Lochalsh Archive Centre in Portree on the Isle of Skye.
