<p>SeattleRetro: /* External Links */ added search reference</p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Organisations]]<br /> <br /> ==British Library – India Office Records (IOR) Reading Room – APAC (Asia, Pacific and Africa Collections)==<br /> formerly known as OIOC (Oriental and India Office Collections)<br /> If your ancestor was employed as a civilian in any arm of government, such as the police, post office, railways or civil service, then his records are most likely to be kept at the Oriental and India Office Collections (formerly the [[India Office]]). This also applies if your ancestor served in the [[East India Company Army]], but not the [[British Army]]. The link below describes what sort of material is available to the family historian. Generally, you will have to visit the Library in person to obtain the records, or hire a professional researcher. To visit the Library you will need to apply for a reader's ticket.<br /> <br /> Please note that the OIOC has been recently renamed to the Asia, Pacific and Africa Collections. Both names for the collections are currently in use.<br /> <br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> <br /> [http://www.bl.uk/reshelp/findhelpregion/asia/india/indiaofficerecords/indiafamilyresearch/iofamilyresearch.html India Office Records: Sources for Family History Research]<br /> <br /> [http://indiafamily.bl.uk/UI/ British Library - India Office Family Records on-line Search]<br /> [[Category:Research methods]]</div>
