What can these records tell me?
keyboard_arrow_down
These records come from digitised copies of school and university register books. The books were all independent publications, published at different dates and perhaps with different purposes, and are in varied formats. This means that the type and amount of information provided varies greatly from volume to volume. In general, they include former pupils (alumni) and often staff, giving attendance and biographical detail.
