There are baptismal, marriage and burial records for all of the members of Shakespeare's family. Legal records have also been preserved, so we know about lawsuits started by Shakespeare and those brought against his father, and the prosecutions against his son-in-law, Thomas Quiney. We have records of land sales and his purchase of New Place. We have his will. We have some records of his son-in-law John Hall's medical practice. We have Shakespeare's deposition in a lawsuit involving his landlord. We have records of the Charter forming the Lord Chamberlain's men. We have Shakespeare's application for a grant of arms for his father.

Shakespeare is also mentioned here and there in other people's wills and correspondence, and in the testimonials published with the first Folio, and in his other published works. His grave and the monument erected to him by his family still exist, along with his wife's grave.
