Fans and scholars of British history may appreciate Connected Histories,
a nonprofit project that enables its visitors to conduct sophisticated
web searches through more than two dozen digital history databases and
archives simultaneously. Spanning the years 1500 -1900, examples of the
resources in Connected Histories include British Museum Images (with
nearly 100,000 images related to early modern Britain), the Convict
Transportation Registers Database (containing government records on more
than 123,000 convicts who were transported to Australia between 1787
and 1867), and the Newton Project (an online edition of Sir Isaac
Newton's complete published and unpublished writings). Visitors may also
want to check out this project's guides, which offer brief discussions
and search strategies for using Connected Histories to research nine
different areas of history, such as parliamentary history, family
history, and searching for images. While most of the resources in
Connected Histories are free for everyone, a few require subscriptions
or are only free in the UK. Connected Histories was created
collaboratively by the University of Hertfordshire, the Institute of
Historical Research at the University of London, and the University of
Sheffield. Launched in 2011, Connected Histories occasionally continues
to add new content.
