Wolverhampton City Archives

Wolverhampton City Archives service is located in the centre of the City of Wolverhampton, England. It is part of the Arts and Heritage Division of the Adult and Community Services Directorate of Wolverhampton City Council.

The Archives are based in the former Molineux Hotel building, built in the mid eighteenth century and restored since 2003 thanks to a Heritage Lottery fund grant. The Archives office collects, preserves and makes accessible records relating to the history of Wolverhampton and its residents.
