The East Kent Archives Centre holds records about the Dover,
Shepway and Thanet District Council areas, including the seaside
towns of Margate and Ramsgate, the busy ports of Dover and
Folkestone and the Cinque Ports of Lydd, New Romney, Hythe and
Sandwich as well as inland areas including the Kent coalfields and
Romney Marsh.
Within these collections you can find the records of local
authorities, schools, hospitals, businesses, families and estates,
as well as microfilm copies of local census returns. Parish records
are not held here.
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 East
Kent Archives Centre, consult our
research service's page.
Please note: Due to
recurrent problems with our online booking and research request
system, that facility is temporarily unavailable. We apologise for
any inconvenience caused.
