UK Archival resources

A2A (http://www.a2a.org.uk/family/index.asp)

A2A allows you to search and browse for information about archives in England, dating from the 900s to the present day. These archives are cared for in local record offices and libraries, universities, museums and national and specialist institutions across England, where they are made available to the public.

A2A allows you to search detailed catalogues from 340 repositories beyond those at the National Archives at Kew so you may arrange to see or to obtain
copies of specific, useful, real archive documents. The database is regularly updated, so revisit often for newly-included catalogues.
