This section of the website explains how you can get started with your research at The National Archives. We aim to do everything we can to make your time here both profitable and enjoyable. Before you plan your visit, however, you should check that you are starting in the right place. Not all documents are held here. Many documents are deposited in local record offices. If you are unsure, contact us for further advice or try consulting Access to Archives (A2A) or the National Register of Archives. If you are interested in genealogy you will probably find that the Family Records Centre is the most appropriate place to begin your research. for more click here
