 The British Library collects all materials published in England and Wales. The electoral register collection is extensive. It also has a manuscript department. You need a reader’s ticket to use materials in this facility. You can contact this library at:
-===The Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts===
-This organization houses the Manorial Documents Register (see [[Wales Court Records]]) and the National Register of Archives (NRA). The Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts has been working to inventory records that are in archives and private collections. The commission’s finding aid, the National Register of Archives (NRA) at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/, includes over 191,000 lists of manuscript collections and close to 5,000 finding aids and annual reports from various repositories. These lists are indexed. Searches can be made in these indexes via the Internet. The Family History Library has some of the published indexes. These indexes are divided into three sections by person, business, and organization. Look in the Author/Title Search of the FamilySearch Catalog under "Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts." Also check the Locality Search under:
-;'''WALES - HISTORY - SOURCES - INDEXES'''
-;'''GREAT BRITAIN - HISTORY - SOURCES'''
-The NRA may be used to learn about estate records that are in private hands and at various record offices. Many of the records described by the commission have changed hands since being examined. For information about the current location of records surveyed by the commission see:
