Libindx is the Local Heritage Service's index to sources of information about people, places and subjects relating to Moray. All indexed references to specific individuals, properties and subjects are included under their own unique reference number. Sources indexed include local government archives from the 13th century to 1975, local newspapers, gravestone inscriptions, non-established church records to 1855, architectural plans, books, family histories etc.

Regularly updated, the people index contains over 200,000 names and acts as an aid for genealogists tracing their roots in Moray as well as researchers into well-known Moravians such as Ramsay MacDonald or the Wolf of Badenoch.

The places index, as well as listing the plans from major architectural collections including the distillery plans of Charles Chree Doig, provides details of photographs and sources of histories of the many historic buildings in Moray such as Elgin Cathedral and Sueno's Stone.

The many diverse subjects indexed include sport, education, archaeology and highway robbery. Many of the items listed are taken from the local newspapers which date back to 1747.

We are aware of an issue with Libindx in which the pop-up search window immediately closes without a search being performed after the 'Search Records' button is pressed. To fix this please try the following steps:

• Ensure either that your pop-up blocker is turned off, or that libindx.moray.gov.uk is added as an exemption. (Your pop-up blocker may be part of your antivirus software or may be part of your web browser.)
• Try using an alternative web-browser, e.g. if you are using Safari or Internet Explorer try using Google Chrome. On Windows devices, which include most PC's and laptops, alternative browsers can be downloaded from the website of the browser's developer; on iPads and other Apple devices they can be downloaded from the App Store.
