Devon Heritage Services
Welcome to the Devon Heritage Services website
The first phase of the development of Devon Heritage Services is now complete, and the Devon Heritage Centre was officially launched on 22 October, 2012. The archive collections of the Devon Record Office, the local studies materials and the Devon and Cornwall Record Society collection from the Westcountry Studies Library reading room, are now housed together at the Devon Heritage Centre, in the former Devon Record Office premises at Great Moor House, Sowton, Exeter. We look forward to welcoming you to our newly integrated service.
Further developments will take place in 2013, including the transfer of the remainder of the local studies collections from the former Westcountry Studies Library store in Castle Street. Find out more >>
See our Business Plan 2012-2015 (110KB - pdf help) for planned developments to modernise our service and to create a flagship Devon Heritage Centre at Great Moor House, Exeter.
