What records survived the Great Fire of London

Were many records beyond parish registers lost in the Great Fire of London?

Some were lost, but the great libraries at Oxford, Cambridge, and York Minster were elsewhere, and London's major collections were less affected.

Britain's leading libraries of the period were at Oxford, Cambridge, and York Minster, outside London. The major London collections were also relatively little affected. The loss of individual records therefore did not amount to the destruction of the country's principal libraries.
