Hello! This is ArchiveWiki, a place for members of SABRE, and other people with a research interest in the UK road network, to pool their information on the byzantine and unfathomable archive and research facilities in the UK.

Principally it is intended as a listing of documents held at The National Archives, but will also contain information on any other archives that have been visited, facilities found there, helpfulness of their search system, tips and tricks to make the most of a visit, etc.

Archives

Browse the full list of archive and library facilities found on the wiki. Click through to see guides to using each one and the files kept there.

Beware - archive facilities are notoriously disorganised and many interesting items are misfiled.

Some files are delightful, but others are a waste of time.

Artefacts

Browse through the piles of non-archive material we have lying around that has also informed our research - old maps, books, bought items, found items, even e-mail transcripts where they have been useful.

Research Topics

Take a look at some of the research topics that tie disparate files together, and get an inside view of the subjects we've been researching.

Help:Contents

Help with using the wiki software, how to get started with adding and editing entries, house style tips and that sort of thing. Have a look before you get stuck in.
