Connected Histories: British History Sources, 1500-1900

From the webpage:

Connected Histories brings together a range of digital resources related to early modern and nineteenth century Britain with a single federated search that allows sophisticated searching of names, places and dates, as well as the ability to save, connect and share resources within a personal workspace. We have produced this short video guide to introduce you to the key features.

Twenty-two remarkable resources can be searched by place, person, or keyword. Some of the sources require subscriptions but the vast majority do not. A summary of the resources would fail to do them justice so here is a list of the currently searchable resources:

As you probably assume, there is no binding point for any person, object, date or thing across all twenty-two resources with its associations to other persons, objects, dates or things.

As you explore Connected Histories, keep track of where you found information on a person, object, date or thing. Depending on the granularity of pointing, you might want to create a topic map to capture that information.
