The National Archives Home Page
The National Archives home page (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk) is informative and filled with options for searching more than just the UK National Archives. This page can be overwhelming for a first time user so this article explains the steps to conduct a search. These steps will describe some of the categories under key tabs and how to input search terms that will yield results. The National Archvies website is constantly evolving with pictures, quick links and banners. Though colours, menus, and the layout change as the site develops, the site usually has a navigation bar with tabs just under their logo at the top of the home page. As of February 2012, genealogists will mostly use the two tabs, Education and Records.
