Tyne and Wear Archive advice needed!

[O.R.A.W.M.U]

So from my original post on this thread, would anyone have any suggestions on what collections I ask the researchers to look at please?

Thanks in advance.

Quite frankly, if the archive specifies that research requests must nominate the exact record sets to be searched, you would be better off employing an independent researcher. A professional who regularly visits the archive and is familiar with its resources will be able to look at a range of appropriate records on a single research visit. The hourly rate would probably be similar.

Have a look at the AGRA Directory for someone who works in Tyne & Wear?
