Nottinghamshire Archives

The archives are held at Castle Meadow Road, Nottingham, and run by Nottinghamshire County Council.

In 1939, Nottingham Corporation appointed Violet Walker the first City Archivist; she had been appointed a librarian at Radford in 1926, before moving to Nottingham Reference Library in 1928, where she became librarian in 1936 and oversaw the re-cataloguing of its stock using the Dewey decimal system.

While City Archivist, Walker's translation of the Newstead Cartulary was published.

[2] When the City and County Archives merged in 1974, Henstock became Principal Archivist and served in that post until he retired in 2003.

[3][4] Mark Dorrington succeeded him,[4] and remained in the post for 10 years, before becoming Keeper of Manuscripts and Special Collections, University of Nottingham in 2013.
