Cumbria Archive Service - online catalogues and guides
Welcome to CASCAT: the Cumbria Archive Service Catalogue
CASCAT, our online catalogue provides details of many of our holdings at our 4 Archive Centres in Barrow, Carlisle, Kendal and Whitehaven, and it can be searched in a number of ways:
- enter your search term(s) directly into CASCAT online catalogue
- use our Guide to browse our holdings, with links (organised under Official Records, Public Records, Church Records and Non-Official Records) to take you to the right part of our catalogue.
Researchers can also find information on collections held at each of our 4 offices at The National Archives Discovery website. Each page includes details of annual accessions at each office from 1994 (from 1996 at Whitehaven):
Further guidance for family historians can be found in our publication 'Cumbrian Ancestors' available from our archive centres.
