Hi Doug, Very many, if not all, colleges at Oxford and Cambridge and many of the older universities too have archives. These are sometimes separate from the college libraries or may be part of them. Virtually all have a web presence so Googling them will nearly always turn something up such as an e-mail contact like the one for Trinity College, Cambridge below. Though the archives are provided primarily for academic purposes I have found some do offer help to family historians - I guess it's down to individual pressures of work and the personal sympathies of the archivist. archives@trin.cam.ac.uk Rod S.
