The Berwick-upon-Tweed Record Office was established in 1980 to initially provide access to the historic archives of the town. Since then, it has developed considerably and now holds a wide range of records relating to the pre-2009 Borough of Berwick-upon-Tweed which extended from Berwick, south to Ellingham and Beadnell, west to Ingram and north to Carham on the River Tweed.  The Record Office now forms part of Northumberland Archives.
