Ayrshire
Archives and its Records
The prime function
of Ayrshire Archives is to preserve and manage the evidential and historically
important records produced by the three Councils and their predecessor
bodies. As a result, the Centre holds a large number of official records
which relate to the local government of Ayrshire from the fourteenth
century to the present day. The Centre also holds a large number of
private collections which include ecclesiastical records, family and
estate papers, business records, and the records of societies and organisations.
The following sections are a brief description of our main records holdings.
