The DRA houses a unique collection of photographs, maps, architectural drawings, journals, oral history recordings, documents and books - celebrating our rich rural heritage. The DRA opened to the public in 2009 and boasts a large collection of historic documents, maps, images, books, journals and periodicals, as well as a special collection of artefacts and unpublished material. Our Research Libr
ary is also home to our family history resources and the reports of our own archaeological research, known as Project Donn. So, if you would like to study the history of individual buildings, places and settlements within Devon, there is no better place to begin your research than at the DRA. In addition, we also offer a full programme of events and exhibitions relating to Devon's history, archaeology and architecture.
