Research Services
The Archives annually receive a significant number of queries and research requests from local and overseas researchers. Though our service mainly looks to facilitate research, we can offer a research service for most projects, whether the subject is academic, personal interest or family history.
We request that those who use our source material acknowledge and cite the Jane Cameron National Archives.
