I received a newsletter from the NA today that has announced two new research aids.

Looking for the records of a person?
The research signposts can help you uncover a person's history. Each guide indicates where you can find the relevant records, and how they can be accessed.

and

Understand the archives in minutes.
A series of animated guides to help you get the most out of your research and The National Archives'
website.
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/gettingstarted/understand-the-archive/default.htm

And....
We will be adding more research and learning resources over the coming months, so do bookmark the 'research guidance' page and check back regularly.

I also find their Podcasts very useful, I download them and listen while doing boring 'domestics'
