Behind the Scenes: Tours of the Archives 2026

Have a look around our strong rooms and see where Northumberland's history is preserved.

We take care of records that provide evidence of the lives of people in the past. These collections are unique and so are kept securely. Our tours give you the opportunity to see behind the scenes and through the security doors! Learn more about how archives are kept and the range of our collections.

Please note that although this is a free event, parking charges will be made by Museums Northumberland for the use of their car park. Charges are not made for people who already hold a Museums Northumberland season ticket.
