As the custodians of the most comprehensive range of UK family history records anywhere in the world, archived alongside collections of great value to academic institutions and historians, we welcome licensing enquiries from all comers. To help realise your ambitions, our in house Digitisation team offers benchmark setting services, while our Image Library holds a wealth of art, design and documentary content available for reproduction.
Family History
Our records include censuses, military, immigration, births, deaths and marriages. Much of the popular collections have already been digitised; however, there remains a huge amount of fascinating material, sometimes remaining untouched for many years, occasionally even since their original creation.
Academic
Covering a broad chronological span of nearly 1,000 years and with records of global relevance, academic digital publishers have long sought to base their primary source publications on our archival material. The range of publishing possibilities is huge, and encompasses economic, social, political, scientific, military and colonial themes.
