Records of the Government Code & Cipher School, (GCCS). Before becoming an independent researcher at the National Archives, Bob O'Hara spent many years in the British Civil Service at Government Communications Headquarters, (GCHQ - successor to the GCCS), where he was involved in the handling of UK Government records, so the National Archives HW Class List has a particularly familiar feel.

Genealogy Research- General family history research through to full, detailed genealogical records.

National Archives - An introduction.

Research for a thesis or dissertation We will undertake research in the National Archives, Kew, or other London repositories for a dissertation. Recent examples of dissertation research include 18th Century Treaties with North American Indians on the one hand to 20th Century Boundary disputes in the Middle East on the other. If necessary, we will transcribe the records or copy to a CD.

We also offer a translation service for
Latin, Anglo-French and Medieval English documents.
