This is a very select list of national and regional archives and libraries. Contact details of specific archives and libraries can be found on Archon (there seems no point in duplicating here that list of over 1,000 repositories in the UK). Do bear in mind that these institutions will not be able to do your work for you, but to answer enquiries on their holdings prior to a visit by yourself. Do always try to contact anywhere prior to a visit and order material in advance if possible, to avoid disappointment.
