The network of libraries and mobile libraries across the county enables people to access a wealth of knowledge, information and services. Through the libraries online catalogue, it is possible to order and renew books remotely.
Essex County Council also maintains and conserves a significant archive of records and information about the county, which is held in the Essex Record Office. The Essex Record Office is a valuable resource for anyone who wishes to research their family history or the history of a building within the county, and the Seax database enables people to see if the documents they wish to view are held by the Essex Record Office, although Seax does not contain complete copies of the documents themselves.
