Why Buy from Britsh Data Archive?

1. Range of products

Your High Street store can only offer one or two packages for genealogy, we offer over one hundred and thirty programs plus Data CDs, books, charts and family history kits. Make sure you get the package to suit your needs not what a shop wants you to buy.

2. Cost

It's cheaper to buy from S&N, we are always cutting our prices to provide you with the best value possible.

We will also beat any quoted price for the same genealogy program.

Dedicated Support without Premium telephone line costs

3. Customer Support

Your high street store doesn't have dedicated genealogy software support staff and neither do the publishers support lines. They won't be able to resolve problems like "Why can't I import my relatives' data?" We can and do!

4. Quality

We scan all our census images in-house and have quality checks that ensure the highest possible quality even if it means scanning the film several times. We scan in greyscale were required and for 1841 we buy the highest quality silver microfilm, unlike our competitors. In independent testing this was found to have 30% more readable pages and improved the readability of all pages.

This test was carried out by David Tippey of Family History Monthly. You can read the full review and compare the results for yourself HERE.

5. Upgrades

We are the only retailer offering free upgrades when customers qualify.

We can also supply you with upgrades to your software saving up to 50%. We help cut the cost of keeping your software up-to-date and keep you informed.

6. Free Advice
