Dorset Online Parish Clerk Project

Description

Online Parish Clerks

An Online Parish Clerk (OPC) researches all the available historical data they can find on a parish, records are transcribed, and in order to promote further private research, are made FREELY available to any researcher. This will include census, parish transcripts, bishop's transcripts and churchwardens accounts, overseers accounts, land tax records, postal directory extracts, church & village histories, etc. An OPC is a volunteer and should not be confused with the civil Parish Clerk appointed by a Parish Council.

There are about 275 parishes in Dorset and so far we have some data online for 274 of them, with OPC's covering 145 of these parishes. If you would be interested in volunteering to help make these national records available to all, please click here for more information.

Please note that the scheme was only launched in 1st April 2003 and data held by OPC's may, at this stage, be limited.
