[[Image:The National Archives, England.jpg|thumb|right]] '''The National Archives''' The National Archives collects records of the central government 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. Many of the most popular resources are online or on microfilm, and are on open access. You do not need a reader’s ticket to use these collections, but you will need one to view original documents. 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: | [[Image:The National Archives, England.jpg|thumb|right]] '''The National Archives''' The National Archives collects records of the central government and law courts from 1086 to the present.
