This template is a Citation Style 1 wrapper template based on {{Cite web}}. For centralised Citation Style 1 discussions, see Help talk:Citation Style 1.

This template generates an external link to a page listing associated archival material at the UK National Register of Archives (NRA).

This template supersedes {{NRA}}, which uses an old-style NRA ID.

Add the template to the "external links" section of the article, or use it in <ref></ref> tags.

To use this template, first search for the NRA page relating to the organisation, person, family or place.

This will often lead to a list of possible matches. If the one you want (e.g. that for George Orwell) is there, click through to the relevant page. The id is the string with which the URL ends, after ID=, e.g. here F39029.
