Introduction to Discovery – The National Archives catalogue

Matt Norman talks to Chrissy Peters about Discovery – the online
catalogue for The National Archives and 2500 other archives. What
is in Discovery? How can you find what you want in it? Are the
records in Discovery digitised? Find out the answers from Chrissy
in this short podcast.


You can use the Help with your research pages on our website to
find out more about The National Archives’ collection before you
use Discovery. There are also helpful blogs; Where do I start my
research?, Why can’t I find what I’m looking for? and Your
catalogue’s rubbish! Discovery also has its own help pages.


Please note that at the moment The National Archives is closed to
visitors until further notice. Advice in the podcast about
visiting us and using the facilities in our reading rooms will
apply once we re-open.
