Records in the Isle of Man Public Record Office

The Isle of Man Public Record Office holds records from

• Tynwald
• Isle of Man Government Departments and their predecessors such as the Boards
• Other organisations which are part of Government including the General Registry
• Manx Local Authorities
• Manx Courts
• Other Manx public bodies included in the Public Records Act 1999

We do not have the papers of businesses or private individuals.

The earliest records here date from 1800, most are twentieth-century.

If the public records you require date between 1900 and 1980 please check our access details. Even if we do not yet hold them yet we will be happy to help you locate them.

For most public records before 1900, and all other Manx archives including business and personal papers and sources for family history research, the Manx National Heritage Library is the best place to start your enquiries.

If you require government records from 1980 to the present please contact the department or body concerned directly.
