Local Government Records

Bedfordshire Archives Service holds a great many records for the different layers of local government that have existed throughout the years; county council, district councils, borough councils, town councils, parish councils and now unitary councils.

Here are some links to the record collections for the Boroughs of Bedford, Dunstable and Luton:

This page of advice to parish and town councils on what items should be deposited with us gives an indication of the type of records we hold for these councils.
