The Archives Service can provide advice on what document sources are available for the sort of research you are undertaking - whether you are interested in the history of your family, your village, your house, your business, or your county.

The links in the left hand column will take you to summaries of sources available on given research themes.

Other organisations, including local history societies and family history societies, can also give you advice on your research. Please follow the links in the right hand column. 

Genuki, the UK and Ireland Genealogical Information Service, aims to serve as a virtual reference library of genealogical information that is of particular relevance to the UK and Ireland. It is a noncommercial service, provided by an ever-growing group of volunteers in cooperation with the Federation of Family History Societies and a number of its member societies.
