Tyne and Wear Archives Service, County record office in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom.

The Tyne and Wear Archives maintains documents spanning from the 12th to 21st centuries, occupying 20 kilometers of shelving in the Discovery Museum.

Established in 1974 by Tyne and Wear County Council, the archives merged collections from Newcastle Archives Office and underwent reorganization in 1986.

The archives preserve extensive shipbuilding records, engineering documentation, and industrial heritage materials that reflect North East England's manufacturing legacy.

Visitors need to pre-book the search room access and can request document copies or research assistance through the telephone number (0191) 277 2248.

The UNESCO Memory of the World Register recognized the Tyne and Wear Shipyards Collection for its documentation of regional maritime construction.
