Ayrshire Archives

Ayrshire Archives was formed as a result of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 and Section 53, in particular, which states that Local Authorities are required to make ‘proper arrangements for the preserving and management of records transferred to them or created by them; and have due regard for any comments made by the Keeper of the Records of Scotland.’ In response to this legislation, the three local authorities in Ayrshire - East, North and South Ayrshire Councils - agreed to the joint funding of an Ayrshire-wide archives service. As a result, Ayrshire Archives was established on 1st October 1996.
