Local History Library

 Local History Library is now housed within our Creative Smart City Hub at Washington Library.

We will also, very soon, be launching our new digital platform, as part of our new website. 2025 will then see a digitally reimagined local studies offer open in Culture House.

While these changes are taking place:

• Access to Find My Past is still available at City Hall
• The current Electoral Register is available upon request in the City Library @ The Museum and Winer Gardens

For information or any enquiries please email local.historylibrary@sunderland.gov.uk or call Local History Library on 0191 561 8439.

Our free public access computers in Sunderland city centre are based within City Hall, Plater Way, Sunderland, SR1 3AA on the ground floor.
