Introduction
These
pages provide information about the main types of records
held at Cornwall Record Office (CRO). The documents are set in
context so that researchers can recognise and make use of a variety
of sources. The sections below reflect the way that records
are sorted and listed at CRO, although pages within the sections
are grouped for ease of navigation rather than by archival
origin.
Each section describes a group ('series') of records,
incorporating some background history and guidance on their use
where appropriate. Please note any catalogue references and
check them in our online catalogues. Not all of our collections
are highlighted in these pages, so check the online catalogues for
individual names, places, organisations and any other key
terms.
The majority of the records held at CRO are available to the
public, however, some records have restricted access due to
legislation such as the Data Protection Act or the Freedom of
Information Act. Please contact the Record Office for advice on
particular records.
