Archival Materials
RLIN and Worldcat may provide access to some archival collections, and the Gale Dictionary of Literary Biography (see below) often lists the location of major collections of papers and manuscripts. In addition, these databases may also provide good sources of information.

Archives USA provides access to archives, repositories and research collection of libraries in the United States. It does not provide title-level access, but it purports to be the complete electronic version of the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections (NUCMC).

UK Archives Hub. The Archives Hub provides a single point of access to descriptions of archival collections that are available for research in universities and colleges. Anyone may use the Hub. The Hub includes descriptions for the archives of a wide range of individuals, families, and organisations, from medieval times right up to the present day. The Hub does not include the text or images of the archival collections described here - only their descriptions.

UK Access to Archives The A2A database contains catalogues describing archives held throughout England and dating from the 900s to the present day. A2A does not yet offer a full description of all the archives in England, but it is regularly updated, so revisit often for newly-included catalogues. The A2A database is regularly updated, and catalogues over 8.5 million filed items from 390 record offices and other repositories.
