> Online from 5 March 2003.
>
> Between 1670 and 1834 the proceedings of the central criminal court in
> London, the Old Bailey, were published eight times a year. These records
> detail 100,000 trials, and include over 60,000 pages of text. They
> represent the largest single source of information about non-elite lives
> ever published, and provide a wealth of detail about everyday life, as
> well as hugely valuable evidence for the history of crime.
>
>
> A transcription of this material, along with scanned images of the
> original pages, is now available free of charge to users throughout the
> world. You can search for entries in specific fields, such as crime, or
> defendant's occupation, or search the whole text for any word or text
> string. It is possible to tabulate specific fields, such as sex of
> defendant by type of crime, and generate results as either tables or
> graphs. Information on related documents and sources found in the
> libraries and archives of London can also be linked to each trial,
> creating a trail of information leading from the internet to original
> source material.
>
>
> The website currently covers December 1714 to December 1759. Trials
> from 1760 to 1799 will be available in the late Spring of 2003; from
> 1674 to October 1714 in the Autumn of 2003; and 1800 to 1834 in the
> Spring of 2004, when an international conference will take place to mark
> the completion of the project.

>
> The digitisation of this material has been made possible by grants from
> the New Opportunities Fund and the Arts and Humanities Research Board.
> Scanning and double rekeying of the original text has been managed by
> the Higher Education Digitisation Service at the University of
> Hertfordshire, and file mark up and search engine design at the
> Humanities Research Institute at the University of Sheffield. In the
> process both structured meta-data detailing specific aspects of each
> trial and archival references have been incorporated into the trial
> accounts. A substantial website authored by the directors of this
> project, Professor Tim Hitchcock and Dr Robert Shoemaker, giving
> detailed historical background to the Proceedings and to the history of
> crime and of London between 1674 and 1834 has also been created."
