Service Points
Service Points provide a vital resource to people who find it difficult to travel to the Devon Heritage Centre or the North Devon Record Office. They are generally located in museums, libraries or heritage centres, and hold microfiche and microfilm copies of historical records for the areas which they cover. These include parish registers of baptisms, marriages and burials, while some of them hold microfiche copies of tithe maps and apportionments (showing land ownership and use in about 1840), non-conformist registers and some other records of the local area. Some Service Points also have internet access and hold a range of printed source material.
