*Some church records are available and these include some records not found in the N series at the British Library.

Search the online catalogue for current information. This link also includes other overseas countries/areas such as the [[West Indies]] (For the latter, click at the top of the SoG page in the menu for a November 2012 archived link).
*The Library contains many monumental inscriptions, or has references to series of monumental inscriptions which appeared in publications such as ''Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica'' and ''Notes and Queries''. There was a Society of Genealogists publication which referred to these series: ''Monumental inscriptions in the Library of the Society of Genealogists Part 2, Northern England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Overseas'' edited by Lydia Collins and Mabel Morton 1987, also available at the British Library UIN: BLL01012668992 (''Part 1 Southern England'', 1984). Note this book seems to be in the form of a catalogue, and does not appear to contain actual inscriptions. "They include inscriptions from a group of African countries (Basutoland, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Nyasaland, Sierra Leone and Uganda) collected under a scheme organised by Philip Blake and Anthony Camp for the Society in the 1960s."<ref> [https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/British_Births,_Marriages_and_Deaths_Overseas#Monumental_Inscriptions British Births, Marriages and Deaths Overseas, section Monumental Inscriptions] FamilySearch Wiki, based on three articles in ''Family Tree Magazine'' (vol. 16, no. 9-10-12, July-Aug-Oct 2000) by Anthony Camp who was Director of Research, and later Director
of the Society of Genealogists for many years.</ref> In the catalogue (at 2019/10) under Uganda there is a reference to a publication ''African monumental inscriptions'' by Anthony J Camp, (comp.) and Lydia Collins, (comp.). Published London : Society of Genealogists, 1982. This book however appears likely to be an internal SoG document, not a "published" book. Search the online catalogue for current information.
