They describe the holdings of local record offices, national and university libraries, specialist repositories, museums and other bodies in the United Kingdom and aborad. They also cover papers held privately by individuals, firms and institutions, and in such cases the Commission is often able to provide further information about the accessibility of the papers for research. The lists vary in length and detail, and are only available in the Commission's public searchroom. The indexes, however, are available on the Web.
