History

The Archives Hub brings together descriptions of thousands of the UK’s archive collections. Representing over 350 institutions across the country, the Archives Hub is an effective way to discover unique and often little-known sources to support your research.

Digital Bodleian is a portal to portions of Bodleian Libraries’ digitised collections, including rare books, manuscripts, maps and many other pieces of print ephemera.

The National Archives is home to millions of historical documents, known as records, which were created and collected by UK central government departments and major courts of law. It is the largest archive in the United Kingdom. Viewing of records held physically at the National Archives not available online can be arranged by contacting them directly.
