ARCHON provides a gateway to UK archives.
ARCHON includes details on all repositories in the UK and overseas
which are noted in the indexes to the UK National Register of Archives.
The gateway is hosted and maintained by the Historical Manuscripts
Commission. It is possible to either search or browse the site.
The search engine allows searching by ARCHON reference number, repository
name, town or county. It is possible to browse by geographical location.
As well as providing details on archives

also maintains a large selection of links which are organised into
the following categories: Archival and Library Gateways, Archival
Mailbases, Archival Standards and Practices, Conservation, Electronic
Journals, Electronic Projects, Genealogy, Related Projects and Training.
