===FamilySearch microfilms/digitised microfilms===
*''An East-India Register and Directory'' [https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/778871 Microfilm catalogue entry for multiple volumes]. Note: Microfilm ordering ceased September 2017, however selected volumes are currently digitised and available for viewing on a FamilySearch computer at a FamilySearch Centre, or FamilySearch Affiliate Library, including at least one edition per year, with generally two, from '''1803''' to 1834, and '''two editions for 1860, not available elsewhere online''', and it is expected that in time all volumes will be similarly available. You may request that a microfilm be given priority for digitisation. Refer [[FamilySearch Centres]] for more detail. Note, it is recommended that you use this option only if there are no other versions available, due to restricted geographical access, and the format for viewing the digital images.
:'''Note''' At times (c 2019 January) a message has been seen advising images are not available. However it appears this is an error (bug) and if you re-access the digital file, (perhaps this will be necessary multiple times) the usual message that it can be viewed at a FHC or Affiliate Library should eventually appear. This error message may also appear when you are attempting to access the films at a FamilySearch Centre. June 2019, this error appears to have been fixed, but this wording has been left in case the error reappears.
