The Community Archive is situated in the Cross and welcomes locals and visitors to browse the collection, view displays and talk to the volunteers about our community in years gone by.
The records of The Scottish Horse Regiment are also kept in the archive and visitors are welcome who wish to research family members who were in the Regiment.
The Archive also have booklets covering the local graveyards which will help with family history research.
The archive is run by volunteers and their only income is from your kind donations. They are happy to do a preliminary investigation but if they find any relevant information would have to make a small charge. Find out more here: http://www.dunkeldcathedral.org.uk/archives
The Archive Room, which opened above the Cathedral Chapter House in 1995, is now situated at 12 The Cross (next door to the Duchess Anne) and contains a fast growing collection of photographs, records and memorabilia relating to the Cathedral and community of Dunkeld and Birnam, including census records and tombstone inscription of the graveyards in the parish. The regimental records The Scottish Horse are also held there.
The museum and archives volunteers would be pleased to give talks on the history of the cathedral and Dunkeld to interested clubs and societies.
Memorabilia is welcomed in all forms relating to Dunkeld and Birnam, either for retention or on long term loan.
