Index of online family history archives

It is difficult to know where to look on the Internet for that interesting piece of information you need in your search for details of your ancestor.

The National Archives have established a website called A2A which provides a catalogue of over 400 archives throughout the UK.

Over 30% of archives in the UK are now members and 10.3 million records are indexed.

A search will not bring up items online but it will tell you where to go to find that piece of information.

A great place to visit that may save you hours of vainly clicking on websites.

Archon is a similar lsting by the National Archives recoding the existence of institutions with manuscript archives.
