From 25th October 2011 family historians around the world will be able to use the internet to tap into over a million records from Warwickshire’s archives. Warwickshire County Record Office has agreed a partnership with Ancestry.co.uk to make parish and early court records available to the public online. This agreement is a landmark in improving access to the county’s unique collections of historical data. Ancestry is a market leader in providing researchers and enthusiasts from around the world with access to digital copies of vital records. Users are able to access the information either on a pay as you go basis or via subscription, using surname indexes to track down their ancestors and purchase digital copies to add to their research notes. Only records over one hundred years old will be made available which means that researchers will be able to view entries from parish registers of baptisms, marriages and burials up to 1911. As part of the agreement the Record Office has negotiated free access for people in Warwickshire at local libraries as well as at the County Record Office itself. This means that within Warwickshire it will now be possible to view the records of your local parish for free at your nearest library or at the County Record Office, or to pay for a subscription to research them in the comfort of your own home.

| Tithe apportionments | | |
The Tithe Apportionments database contains information from the Warwickshire tithe apportionments, produced after the Tithe Commutation Act of 1836.
