Libraries

This page gives links to the Library departments of councils in and close to the Highlands where you'll find lists of all their branches, many of which - especially in the larger towns - will hold local collections that can help with family history in their area. Local librarians are also likely to know local historians and genealogists who may be able to assist researchers.
