Are you looking for our Historic Research Manager to research on your behalf or would you like to accompany the Manager to the Kerk Kelsey Research Room to do your own assisted research? *

Please describe the topic of your research to point our Historic Research Manager in the right direction. Add in any specific dates/date ranges or primary documents for which you may be searching. Providing as much detail as possible will maximize your allocated research time. *
