The Gazette

The Gazette is the UK's official public record, comprised of The London Gazette, The Belfast Gazette and The Edinburgh Gazette

The Gazette has been recording key events in British history for over 350 years and is a valuable resource for historians and family researchers. From despatches detailing events in World War 1 to the proclamation of King Charles III, The Gazette has recorded it all. All state honours, including civilian and diplomatic, are listed in The Gazette, along with those for gallantry or meritorious service. The Gazette is the official bearer of War Office and Ministry of Defence events, with a weekly supplement published on behalf of the forces every Tuesday.

The Gazette also publishes a wealth of business and legal information such as deceased estates and insolvency notices, and profiles of all UK incorporated companies.

Printed and PDF copies of London, Edinburgh and Belfast Gazettes are available for subscription, or can be accessed and searched via the website.
