Many of the burials indicated in the search facility do not appear in the N Series of burials held in the British Library and this is , therefore, an invaluable supplementary resource to those records. Amongst those indexes already available are Meerut Cantonment, Agra , Vizagapatam and the Kacheri cemetery of Kanpur. Names on India related Monumental Inscriptions known to BACSA have also been included in the search facility - many of these being UK inscriptions.. See [http://bacsa.frontisgroup.com/bin/index.php BACSA Search] for more information.
In addition to their published material, the archive containing all of BACSA's transcripts is deposited in the private papers collection (shelf mark Mss Eur F370) at the [[British Library]], where it may be consulted by readers. Files kept on cemeteries often consist of a report on the current state of the cemetery but some also include directions, descriptions, burial records, inscriptions or photographs. The catalogue of the archive folders is available at [http://wwwbacsa.blfrontisgroup.ukcom/cataloguesbin/indiaofficeselect/emsformaps_browse_sources.asp onlinephp?mode=browse_components&id=86&s_id=173 Cemetery Files and Registers](bacsa.Search '''Private papers Mss Eur F370'''org. uk) The archive includes some card indexes/papers prepared by Lt Col H K Percy Smith (1897-1975) who also prepared the Percy Smith card index collection at the [[Society of Genealogists]]
