</td><td valign="top" width="24"></td><td valign="top"> <hr> <center> <h2>Greater Manchester County Record Office</h2> </center> <hr> <p>This Guide provides an introduction to the 4 miles of shelving of archives stored in GMCRO. Without proper finding aids, lists and catalogues these unique documents are not readily avialable for study. Because each group of archives is more significant than the individual items within it, a Guide to the different archival collections is an important tool for users and archivists alike.</p> <p>The following pages detail some of the archives in the custody of the Record Office. The guide is divided into six sections.</p> <ul> <li>Public Records deposited under Section 4 of the Public Records Act of 1958 and presentations under section 3(6) of the same Act</li> <li>Records of Estates are papers concerning important families of Greater Manchester. Some of the papers go back to the 14th century</li> <li>Business records detail the great industrial heritage of the North West of England</li> <li>Groups and societies relate to Trade Unions, charities and organisations of the area</li> <li>Deeds concern collections of legal papers relating to land throughout Greater Manchester.</li> <li>Small Collections of deeds, photographs, plans and Acts of Parliament. <li>Other Sources. This section lists the newspapers, maps, and Trade Directories in our custody.</li> </ul> <p>Click on one of the links to view part of the guide.
