Hi List, For those of you who are looking at really early records, a new web-site is now available with images of original documents. The preamble for the web site reads: Professor Robert Palmer of the University of Houston Law Center has initiated a huge project, The Anglo-American Legal Tradition, to digitise medieval and early-modern English legal records, and to make the images freely available through the Internet. The records covered are from the period 1272-1650, and include plea rolls (CP 40, KB 27 and E 13), Exchequer memoranda rolls (E 159 and E 368) and other series (C 33, JUST 1 [to 1350], E 124, E 126, REQ 1, DL 5 and CHES 14). The project's website is still in preparation, but images are already available for the reigns of Edward I, Edward III and Henry VIII-Charles I, and it is planned that more material will be added at the rate of 400,000 images per year. Only images of the documents are provided - no transcripts - but the site also includes some example transcriptions for illustration If you already have a reference, say from VCH, you can now view the original! The website address is http://aalt.law.uh.edu/ Enjoy! Sandra
