Church of England and Nonconformist churches including registers of baptism, marriage and burial
Around 35,000 wills proved by the Archdeaconry of Buckingham
County and District Councils
Quarter and Petty Session courts
Landed estates of families including the Aubrey-Fletchers, Hampdens, Carringtons and Fremantles
Historic maps including Ordnance Survey, tithe and inclosure maps
The Archive also holds:
A wide range of local history books, some for loan.
Pamphlets and articles of local history interest.
Local newspapers
Computers for access to family history resources like Ancestry and FreeBMD.
