Explore social history, military records and more.
This week, we’re excited to announce a new partnership with The London Library.
From military lists to directories and specialist newspapers, an eclectic range of records from the Library’s holdings have been digitised and published online for the first time, exclusively at Findmypast.
Oireachtas Companion 1928-1930
Did your relative shape Ireland’s future?
Delve into this unique resource to uncover the stories of those who served in Ireland’s early parliament.
Britain, Histories & Reference Guides
We added the unique Heath's Book of Beauty to this expanding resource this week.
Spanning 1833 to 1837, this publication features engraved portraits of aristocratic women and thus offers a fascinating insight into the lives of England's upper classes in the 19th century.
The War Office List
Covering 1866-1921, these lists can reveal where your ancestors served, how their military careers unfolded, or what became of them during wartime.
