The National Archives collects records of the central government (such as parliamentary papers) and law courts from 1086 to the present. These records provide a wealth of information for the family researcher but are best used after you have gathered information elsewhere. You must have a reader’s ticket to use this collection. The staff does not do research but will usually do brief searches if you supply enough information. You can write to this office at the following address: | The National Archives collects records of the central government (such as parliamentary papers) and law courts from 1086 to the present.
