The Archives Hub is an online gateway to the descriptions of archives held in UK repositories (such as universities, company archives and local history centres). It does not hold any archive material itself but provides a means to cross-search archival descriptions from different institutions.
The Archives Hub is continually expanding, with new contributors and descriptions, so you may wish to visit the Hub regularly.
