Although the bulk of the Duchy archive was deposited at the Public Record Office in 1868, the Duchy continues to produce records. Some of these have subsequently been transferred to the Public Record Office. Others remain at the Duchy office in Lancaster Place which thus possesses its own distinct and growing archive.Other records relating to local estates are held in county archives. Lancashire County Archives are a particularly useful source of records relating to the County Palatine.
