To find out whether our record offices hold archives which are of interest to you, it is necessary to consult catalogues or other finding aids. Several projects are planned to place catalogues of the collections held in Devon's three record offices on-line.
One of these - the Access to Archives project - has already resulted in a number of catalogues being placed on-line. The Access to Archives (A2A) on-line database contains catalogues of archives dating from the 900s to the present day. These archives are cared for in local record offices and similar institutions across England, where they are made available to the public.
Devon Record Office at Exeter has contributed a number of its catalogues to this database. North Devon Record Office at Barnstaple, and Plymouth and West Devon Record Office, have also contributed their catalogues separately.
