Family History resources at the Mitchell Library are made up of records from the Glasgow City Archives, the Registrars' Genealogy Service, the library's Special Collections and the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Archives. The Family History at the Mitchell website can help you discover and learn information and skills to help you trace your family history:
- if you're a novice, learn how to begin your genealogy journey;
- discover our range of online resources which will help you at any stage of your research;
- learn more about our catalogues and finding aids to open up and discover historical sources; and
- book a place on one of our many events and courses where we can advise you further.​
Our guides on a wide variety of topics will tell you what you need before you start, what records you will find in The Mitchell, links to our related guides, what records you can see online or find elsewhere, and what other resources are available​​.
