Special Collections are unlikely to have the resources to answer family history enquiries unless you are enquiring about a family member with links to the University.

For family history enquiries on Alumni and former members of staff we can check university calendars and publications in University Archives.

Public libraries have local studies or local history departments as they have access to online resources such as Ancestry and FindMyPast.

Tyne and Wear Archives have a page of online resources in family history records and genealogy. Please click here to view it.
