- Cemetery Studies [C] – usually a whole cemetery, churchyard or graveyard
- Disaster Studies [D] – studies that can be tied to a single location on land, such as Mining Disasters.
- Single Property Studies [P] – usually a house, farmstead or an institution such as an orphanage or workhouse
- Single Street Studies [S] = usually a whole road, street or terrace of properties
- War Studies [W] – usually focused on those listed on a war memorial who died but sometimes expanded to include others who served and survived.
