The Library holds a wide variety of archives, in the form of documents, prints, drawings, parish documents and maps. These are not held at Abinger, but are located in a variety of storage locations. The files below are scans of documents held by the Library containing detailed listings of these holdings. These PDF files are indexed and can be searched, although the variable nature of the original documents means that not all keywords will be found by a search. The documents are also listed individually in the Library catalogue. It is hoped to publish digitised scans of some of the collection on this website in due course.
