- Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm.
- If you plan to visit a repository, contact them and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one.
- Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the FamilySearch Library may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.
Background
The population of the Pitcairn Islands is generally too small to require or support these types of institutions:
"As of 2018, there are a total of 50 people inhabiting the island. Fearing overcrowding, in 1856 all 194 Pitkerners immigrated to Norfolk Island,but 16 of them returned to Pitcairn on the Mary Ann in 1858, followed by a further four families in 1864."[1]
Other entities, located off the islands, have contributed to its study.
