Free Chart with Springback Binders

Buy any portrait Springback Binder and get a FREE A3 7-Generation Fold Out Chart!*

Our springback binders are ideal for presenting your family history to others.

You can add or remove pages as many times as you like.

This binder has hardback covers with an acid-free lining and flyleaf, and has a 25mm capacity, which can hold up to 200 A4 pages.

*Not available with Landscape Springback Binders or Slip Cases. Free chart will only be added to orders with this discount in the basket.

Save 40% on The Phillimore Atlas & Index of Parish Registers

This guide to parish registers, now in its third edition, and covering England, Scotland and Wales, is a vital, time-saving tool that has become universally known as 'the genealogist's bible'. The Atlas includes the famous county 'parish' maps, which show pre-1832 parochial boundaries, colour-coded probate jurisdictions, starting dates of surviving registers, and churches and chapels, where relevant. The Index lists the parishes, with grid references to the county maps. It indicates the present whereabouts of original registers and copies, and whether a parish is included in other indexes. It also gives registration districts and census information.

What's New?

Teach Yourself Palaeography

This is the very first 'teach yourself' book on palaeography, covering all the skills that the genealogist needs to read any document that might be found at any date in English archives.

Using a series of graded exercises in transcription, Teach Yourself Palaeography works backwards in time in easy stages from the modern handwriting of the nineteenth century to the court hands of the medieval period, focusing on records that are of particular interest to family and local historians.

The book provides a unique, self-contained reference guide to palaeography, and to all the different letter forms, symbols and abbreviations that have ever been used in English records.

Keeping it in the Family - The Tale of Land's End

Land's End, one of the most famous iconic landmarks of the British Isles, was once just an exposed point farmed by hardy Cornishmen. The desire by tourists to visit this most south-westerly point in mainland Britain would have been an excellent opportunity for the landowners to make an extra income over and above what the cliff and furzeland could produce especially when the railways began to bring visitors in increasing numbers to the peninsula.
