What can’t I find on this page?
We have tried to put web-based resources and projects into our main theme pages:
- Book stock
- Maps & plans
- Oral history
- Photographs & other visual material
- Newspapers
- Ephemera
- Directories
- Archives
- Subscription websites
- Archive transcriptions
However, there are some online resources and projects that defy classification, so here is is a selection of them.
General local studies resources:
British History Online : What it says on the tin – as of December 2020, it contained “nearly 1300 volumes of primary and secondary content relating to British and Irish history, and histories of empire and the British world. BHO also provides access to 40,000 images and 10,000 tiles of historic maps of the British Isles.” Plus material from the Victoria County Histories!
Society of Antiquaries of London subject index contains lots of references to local history material dating from 1930s to 1988.
Scottish Resources:
