The National Archives, Kew, www.nationalarchives.gov.uk has one of the largest archival collections in the world, spanning 1000 years of British history, from Domesday Book to newly released government papers. The free museum and research rooms are open to the public 6 days a week.
The Family Records Centre, Islington, which is jointly managed by The National Archives and the Office for National Statistics, holds the indexes (not the certificates themselves) for births, deaths and marriages for England and Wales from July 1837 and also copies of wills, before 1858, from the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) and some other church courts.
COI works across government and with public sector bodies to deliver public information campaigns using a range of marketing services including advertising, direct marketing, PR, direct marketing, research, events and digital media and through a network of regional press offices.
Campaigns are unique - from targeting the entire UK population (e.g. preparing for emergencies) to reaching very specific groups (e.g. drug users or people with disabilities). Campaign objectives are often challenging - to effect social change, save lives or help to relieve poverty. COI is committed to helping achieve these aims through the most efficient and effective publicity campaigns.
