Explore the essential resources for tracing ancestors in Warwickshire. This session introduces the major archives for the historic county, how to navigate their catalogues effectively, and where to find key collections online—both on the major commercial sites and the local, Warwickshire-specific platforms that many researchers overlook. We will also look at the county’s shifting boundaries, industrial history, and major historical developments that can affect where records are held. Finally, we’ll identify the best places to seek further help, including local societies and specialist collections. By the end of the talk, you will have a clear roadmap for beginning or advancing your Warwickshire research. This talk assumes you have already watched ‘Introduction to County Research in England’.
