British History

London Record Society

Volumes 31 and 32 are now live. Produced with the kind support of the Society, these two volumes continue to extend BHO's holdings of these key London sources.
Alumni Oxonienses, 1500-1714

The first two volumes of the Alumni Oxonienses, 1500-1714, are now online. The Alumni Oxonienses lists all known members of the University of Oxford, along with biographical details where known, and the relationships between members (such as fathers and sons and siblings). There are entries for the famous, such as John Donne or Lancelot Andrewes, but the great value of this source is its coverage of many obscure lives. The section covering the alphabetical range Abannan to Kyte is now online, and we plan to add the rest of the series in due course.
Five more House of Lords journals

Five more volumes of the Journal of the House of Lords have been added to British History Online. These cover the years 1776 to 1793, and thus a time of revolutions in France and North America. Several volumes also detail the protracted trial in the Lords of Warren Hastings, former governor-general of Bengal. Edmund Burke was one of the prosecutors and described Hastings as "the captain-general of iniquity"; neverthleless Hastings was eventually acquitted. In volume 38 there is some interesting detail of the state of George III's health: for example on 4 December 1788 the house heard a report of the Privy Council's examination of the king's doctors.
Thoroton's history of Nottinghamshire now complete

Thoroton's history, as amplified by Throsby, is now live. First appearing in 1677, and re-published by Throsby in three volumes a century later, it has been described as the first and greatest county history of Nottinghamshire.
New Ordnance Survey Map Function

A new feature has recently been added to the historical maps on British History Online. This allows users to compare the historic map with a modern Ordnance Survey map on the same screen.

This function is available for both the 1:10560 and the 1:1,250 maps. Simply click on the "Show modern OS" button to see the modern map, and the same button will hide it again. The modern map can be dragged with the mouse to scroll.

It is already possible to view the historical map as a modern satellite image in a separate window.
