A2A is changing...
In order to ensure the availability of the A2A service in future, the A2A database is being transferred to a new platform with a simpler interface.

The new service now resides on TNA's website at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a

Existing bookmarks and links will soon be redirected to the new service.

Usage to July '08:  16 million searches  |  39 million downloads

This site was updated for the last time in April 2008. The database now holds 10.3 million records which relate to 9.45 million items held in 418 record offices and other repositories.

For more details, see the list of catalogues which made up the final update.
