Research Your Family History
Do you have a family history enquiry relating to The Gordon Highlanders?
Here at the Museum, we have an extensive archive relating to the history of the Regiment. War diaries, letters, poems, soldiers' diaries, scrapbooks and photo-albums are among the rich store of primary source materials available to you.
Need some help? A team of experienced volunteer researchers is available to assist you with your enquiry. However, before you submit your enquiry we recommend that you visit our "Research Sources" section.
We regret that we are unable to respond to any telephone enquiries regarding research requests. All requests must be made in writing, either by email or letter and must be accompanied by the designated fee.
The Museum's new research service charges are as follows:
Please be aware that due to an increase in the volume of recent research enquiries it may take up to 6 - 8 weeks for your enquiry to be processed. We do aim to answer your enquiries as expiditiously as possible with the resources available to us at the time of your enquiry.
Please also be aware that the museum is an independently financed museum which receives no external core funding. The money we generate from the research service is ploughed back into the museum to cover our operating costs.
Thank you,
C.M. Petty
Executive Director.
