A guide to using our Digital Copy Service

This is a guide to ordering document copies from our online shop.

To go directly to the order page: Click here.


Step 1: Click the dataset link for which you need a document copy. Note that the required index information is outlined on each dataset page.
Step 2: Add the item(s) to the cart as instructed below.


A box then appears and you can choose to continue shopping or view cart (to pay now).

 

Step 3: Click View Cart. On the View Cart page there is a box noting “Add a note to your order”. See image below.

Enter the required reference information as outlined on each dataset order page.

This is found in the index where you found the record in the first place, usually SoG Data Online or Findmypast.
