The Borthwick Institute for Archives is the repository for the archives created by the University from its foundation in 1963, and for the archives of the University’s predecessor body, the York Academic Trust, from 1953. The Borthwick also cares for an extensive range of archives from the 12th to 21st centuries given to or purchased by the University or on deposit from the archive owners. |
Free access to original records or copies of records in our search rooms. We charge a fee to carry out the research necessary to tell you whether or not we hold specific information. We also charge for copies of documents. Our fees are set out on our website. Contact the Borthwick Institute for further details. |

The Borthwick Institute has finding aids for nearly all of the archives in its care, which are supplemented by guides to archive holdings. Both finding aids and general guides are added to Access to Archives and the Archives Hub on a regular basis. The Heritage Image Partnership delivers archive content as opposed to finding aids. Some probate indexes are available at British Origins, as well as via public libraries. |

Closures are usually indicated in our Catalogues and will be reviewed on request. There is no charge for this review. Enquiries and requests for review of closed records should be sent to the Borthwick Institute. | Paper: for copies of terms and conditions imposed by owners, contact the Borthwick. | Fees for paper | ||
