REVIEWS
“Never before have students and their teachers been able to inspect the archives that formed the backbone of the Tudor State so carefully and so easily. Here is Tudor government stripped bare, exposed in all its fabulous richness and subtlety.”
“[State Papers Online] is a core resource for all British history of the early modern period. It is an essential source for political and religious historians but also as useful for social and cultural historians. [State Papers Online] can help us answer what is meant by the state and what were its functions.”
“The cross-referencing and the linkage between items is really remarkable. It's really quite an unbelievable project: fifteen years ago in St. Andrews we thought we were on the cutting edge with the microfilms, and never anticipated this.”
“The combined collections that comprise the database provide an unprecedented opportunity to view facsimiles of the key primary source documents for British history during an extensive period between 1509 and 1782. A particular strength is the integration of documents from various collections, with access provided by text-searchable calendar abstracts and metadata for uncalendared manuscripts. The great majority of the foreign affairs documents from the 17th and 18th centuries had not previously had any indexing access.”
