Question

Aug 19 2010, 22:09:45 Finding Sources

I would like to know the location of the sources listed on British History Online? Where do I find the followings for instance: Customs (CUST) records and the Exchequer accounts, eg the port books in E 190. Recognisances of victuallers, ale-house keepers in E 180? I am not sure what the numbers signify. Many thanks.
