:*A description of [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/41314113-2463-4b40-90d4-d99316d3f475 Marine Miscellaneous Records '''IOR/L/MAR/C'''] 1600-1879.(Discovery) "The collection is in process of re-arrangement and listing in separate series L/MAR/1-9 according to type and provenance". Included in these records are "personnel records of the Company's maritime service (at all levels of employment, but including particularly the appointment and services of commanders and mates of East Indiamen), the Bombay Marine, the Indian Navy, and the Bengal Pilot Service" but no further details are given.
For digitised microfilms available in the LDS (Mormon) library catalogue, see '''[[IOR Marine records on LDS films]]''' or search the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog FamilySearch Library Catalogue] using keywords India Office Marine Department. (See [[FamilySearch Centres]] for viewing information.)
:'''Note''': Microfilm ordering services has ceased however most all microfilms have been digitised and most/all? are currently available for viewing on a FamilySearch computer at a FamilySearch Centre, and most of the records originating from the British Library also appear to be viewable at FamilySearch Affiliate Libraries. Locate these records through the FamilySearch catalogue. It is expected that in time all microfilms will be similarly available in this format.
