About the Isle of Man Public Record Office
The Isle of Man Public Record Office was established in the 1990s. The Public Records Act 1999 came into effect in April 2000 and provides the basis for our objectives:
- To help holders of public records develop safe, efficient record-keeping and effective record selection for permanent preservation
- To preserve the records in the Public Record Office for future generations
These contribute to the Manx Government’s objective of protecting and developing the Island’s national identity.
The administrative records of over 90 current Manx bodies, and their predecessors, are public records. We are identifying those which need to be kept permanently and sorting and listing those in the Isle of Man Public Record Office already. These will be open to the public, normally when they are 30 years old. See records for further details of our holdings.
