College of Arms Records

The College of Arms Records are official documents maintained by the College of Arms in London, responsible for heraldry and genealogy. These records include detailed histories of coats of arms, family lineages, genealogies, and noble titles. They serve as authoritative sources for verifying noble status and ancestral heritage, often used in legal contexts, genealogical research, and history.
