The repository of the Prize Papers is kept in TNA as part of the records of the High Court of Admiralty c.1450-1995; although the Prize Papers we work with date back to the period of the late 17th to the early 19th century.

The Prize Papers team at TNA deal with the sorting and material conservation of the collection.
