Use the form below to suggest resources that ought to be included in the site. Please give at least a site URL and title; a brief description of the resource would also be helpful. If you have a query or other feedback about the site, please use the contact form instead.
Please bear in mind my broad criteria for including websites/pages in the database. There are some basic rules:
1. The resource must be free to access.
2. It must be very substantially about an early modern (c.1500-1800CE) topic.
3. It does not necessarily have to be strictly academic in nature, but it must be factually accurate. I particularly welcome resources containing good quality editions of primary source materials. I do sometimes make space for interesting fiction-related sites (films, novels, etc), because I like them, but it must be very clear what they are. I’ll also consider blogs demonstrating strong early modern interests (because I like them too).
Resources that do not fulfil these criteria will not be accepted for listing.
Please note that all suggestions will automatically be placed in a moderation queue to be checked, so please don’t submit a suggestion more than once. Unless rejected, they will appear below temporarily until I have time to review and add the resource to the database.

Sharon,
Great website.
I’m an economist, using the period as a database to test modern theories of government, choice, public finance, and all the rest.
I’d like to find other econimists interested in the period.
How can I contribute, and find like-minded individuals?
Thanks,
Jim.

Dear Sharon,
I am the editor of the Thomas Gray archive here in Oxford, a digtial archive devoted to the 18th-c. poet and letter-writer. The Archive offers searchable electronic editions of Gray’s complete poetry with critical apparatus and extensive collaborative commentary, selected prose works, a browsable calendar to Gray’s complete correspondence, a concordance to the poetry, a digital library of primary sources and audio-visual media, and a finding aid to Gray MSS. It also provides access to a host of secondary materials, such as criticism, a biographical sketch, an introductory chronological table of Gray’s life and work, a glossary of names and terms, a select bibliography, a picture gallery, and links to related online resources.
Best wishes,
Alexander.

Staging the Henrician Court is an interdisciplinary project drawing on performance, literary analysis and historical research. The project website at http://www.stagingthecourt.org presents a free-to-view filmed performance of John Heywoods ‘The Play of the Weather’ in the great hall at Hampton Court. ‘The Play of the Weather’ is a politically-charged Tudor morality play which was performed for King Henry VIII’s court. The website forum (including video interviews and discussion with theatrical and academic staff) and resources are all free to explore. We very much welcome contributions from anyone interested in any aspect of the research.
