Researching the Past
We welcome any queries you may have about a person, family, building or any other Huntly related topic. However, we strongly advise that you contact us before popping in. Not only will this allow us to prepare for your visit with relevant information and collection items, but contacting us prior to visiting also enables us to put aside the time needed to speak with you about your inquiry.
If you're unable to come in we welcome research queries via email or phone.
Fill in one of our Research Enquiry forms below and send it in to us.

Phone: 07 828 8128
Please keep in mind that because of our recent move not everything in our collection is easily accessible... we are still unpacking and organising thousands of archives, hundreds of photographs and objects, untold exhibition props, and a lifetime of files!
Research Enquiry Forms
Any details related to your inquiry that you can provide us with would be most appreciated. Make sure to let us know what information you may already have and where you obtained it from, to save us from any unnecessary work and re-hashing information you have already.
