Canterbury Cathedral Archives

Canterbury archives searchroom Canterbury Cathedral Archives is located within the precincts of Canterbury Cathedral. Please check our opening hours prior to any visit. We also advise visitors to book a seat in advance to avoid disappointment. You can do so either by telephone, letter or email.

If you are interested in ordering some research from the Centre for Kentish Studies, check our research service page.

Please note: Due to recurrent problems with our online booking and research request system, that facility is temporarily unavailable. If you have made an online booking within the last month and have not received a personalised reply (excluding the automated acknowledgement) please contact us again. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The Centre holds the records of the cathedral (including its estates), Canterbury diocese, parishes in the Canterbury archdeaconry, Canterbury City Council, and other organisations, businesses and individuals in the Canterbury area. Researchers in the Archives also have access to the books of Canterbury Cathedral Library.

Canterbury Cathedral Archives is run in partnership by the Dean and Chapter, Kent County Council and Canterbury City Council.
