A breviate contains very useful information for identifying parliamentary papers. While selective, each item contains a full bibliographical record for the item and a brief but rich abstract of the contents. Breviates list papers concerning domestic affairs only. For foreign policy see Guides to Foreign Policy in Parliamentary Papers.

But it is also worthwhile to look for content in other databases, particularly for the period before the nineteenth century and the normalization of government printing in the HMSO. Many of the works in the following box can be found in one of these online resources.
