Forthcoming in 2009
Putting the Calendars of State Papers online
Last updated: February 11th, 2008
The Arts and Humanities Research Council has funded British History Online to digitise
and publish The National Archives' Calendars of State Papers online over the course
of 2008-9. Some volumes of the State Papers, Colonial, and State Papers, Foreign,
have already gone live, and the completed project will make around 400 volumes freely
available online in the following series:
A central part of the project is the creation of an 'annotation feature' and discussion
area for the digitised resources. Scholars will be able to add their commentaries
to the calendars, focusing them at the level of an individual entry - adding or
correcting information – and will be able to discuss topics more generally on a
thread. The annotation and discussion tools will be available to all users with
logins from Autumn 2008.
