At the Record Office we produce a variety of products for sale to the public, ranging from our popular ‘mini guides to sources’ to more substantial works.
A number of catalogues of the major collections are available. They include the Cobden and Unwin Papers, listing the internationally important papers of the 19th century British politician and statesman best known for his work on the abolition of the Corn Laws in 1846. The catalogues of the major estates of Arundel Castle, Goodwood and Petworth are also available.
We are the repository and conservation centre of Screen Archive South East and together we have produced a number of films on DVD, including the ‘Southern Steam’ series which celebrate the history of our railways.
You can visit the Record Office where our books, pamphlets and DVDs are on display, or you can order the items outlined on this page.
