Main Page

Archiverdict aims to be a reference guide to research archives and libraries, and their holdings. Read more.

Brief details of countries (and links to the relevant Wikipedia pages etc) are included for reference, and will be developed to include lists of the various archives and libraries.

The emphasis is on accessible archives and libraries - whether public or private, national, local, university, online, transport, art, industry... - but mention can also be made of more specialist-access archives.
