The term "archive" in Pedigree Forge refers to any place that holds source documents — from a large institution like The National Archives in Kew to your own personal collection of family papers.
Archives can be added on the fly from the "Select Archive" dialog when creating sources, or managed from their own panel. The Archives panel is accessed from the museum icon on the Action Bar.
The panel shows a table of archives in the project. Click one to edit its details; use the buttons to add or delete archives. For most archives, only the Name is needed.
Tip — Text in brackets within the archive name is used as a short abbreviation in reports. For example, "General Register Office (GRO)" will be abbreviated to "GRO" after its first appearance.
