the offices in London where government records for England and Wales are kept. These are made available to the public, without charge, under the thirty-year rule , which allows most official records to be seen by the public after 30 years. Among the important historical documents kept at the Public Record Office is the Domesday Book of 1086. In 2003 the National Archives became responsible for the Public Record Office.
