ARCHON, the Historical Manuscripts Commission links server, has recently
been improved. Users now have the choice of clickable lists of all
archive repositories in the British Isles, or conducting specific
searches by name, town, county or country. As well as details of
address, opening hours, etc, there are direct links to each repository's
Web site. There is also a listing of all catalogues from the repository
held in the National Register of Archives, and recent annual lists of
accessions. ARCHON now acts as a central gateway to the holdings of
record offices, libraries, museums and other archival institutions in
the British Isles. It can be found at http://www.hmc.gov.uk/archon/arch
on/htm.
