The collections in the archive have been catalogued so that we can locate and retrieve them easily.
For many years, the catalogue was held in hard copy only, printed on paper and stored in lever arch files which could only be viewed in the Archive search room. More recently, we have been able to begin building up an online catalogue, accessible here: http://archivecat.knowsley.gov.uk/CalmView/default.aspx
However, it is a work in progress and not all of the collections’ catalogue records have been added to this great resource yet.
To make it easier for you to decide what you want to view when you visit the Archive, we have made the paper catalogue available as a searchable PDF.
We recommend that you search both the online catalogue and the paper catalogue for the items you require.
This is the link to the paper catalogue: Archive Catalogue with Calm links
