Baronial Archives (Lockhurst)

The Baronial Archives of Lockhurst were created in 1914 to preserve the official and unofficial records of the Barony of Lockhurst. Chartered by Lord William Severit, the archives contains the largest repository of Lockhurstan documentation in the world. It is maintained by the Baronial Archivist and his staff, now numbering eleven. The Baronial Archivist is responsible for preserving all documents held by the Archives, cataloging said documents, and assisting researchers with the documents. Originally inhabiting the First Residence of the Severit Family, the Archives moved into a larger facility in 1957.
