1. MEMSO: Short Term Personal Subscriptions: our best deal ever for individuals.

Buying a short term subscription to Medieval and Early Modern Sources Online (MEMSO) doesn't just give you access to our entire database, including all our ebooks and almost 90,000 high definition images from the manuscripts held in The UK National Archives, but it also provides the cheapest way for you to buy ebooks permanently - cheaper even than buying single ebooks to download.

If you don't know about MEMSO, now is the time to find out. MEMSO provides a powerful means of accessing a unparalleled collection of sources for the history of medieval and early modern Britain and its place in Europe and the wider world. Find out more at our online brochure and then why not try a short term subscription from just $75 Canadian.

2. MEMSO: Institutional subscriptions and NetLibrary

Does your institution have a subscription to MEMSO? If not, now may be a good time to suggest to your library that they take a free trial to evaluate the resource. Even for libraries that have some our titles in their collections, MEMSO revolutionises the way you use historical sources for research, and the extent to which they can be integrated into teaching. If your library is part if a consortium, libraries can often save money by working together to negotiate reduced fees.

Institutions can also purchase small numbers of titles via NetLibrary at low cost.

Here's what researchers and teachers say about MEMSO:

‘Can I say what you are doing is FANTASTIC!’

‘The searching power of the resource you have created is quite remarkable and the work I have done is considerably better for using it. ’

‘This is an invaluable resource with regard to staff research as well as Undergraduate and Graduate Teaching. It will make it much easier for Undergraduate to develop dissertation topics and will provide Graduates with an essential database.’

‘I do want to tell you that I think you are doing an incredibly wonderful thing here.’

‘You would not believe the amount of time that your products have saved me recently. The ability to check up a source with a few mouse clicks, rather than having to take a train into town to go to the library, is wonderful. Irish Rail has experienced a sudden drop in profits as a result.’

‘I really do value and enjoy the site, and intend to shove ever more of my students onto it. I've noticed that the interface keeps getting better.’

‘An excellent resource for students and researchers.’

3. Historical database & web application development and consultancy

As well as our own publications, TannerRitchie Publishing has worked on developing, programming and shaping a range of other historical database resources since 2000. We have extensive experience of the requirements of digital academic publishing, and best-practice standards for good web application development. We offer a full range of database and web application development, and consultancy to historians and researchers interested in creating new historical resources. Contact us at office@tannerritchie.com to find out more.

4. Follow us on Facebook/Twitter: : get you daily dose of obscure historical trivia

Historians are leading the way with the use of Facebook and Twitter to create innovative ways to interact with each other. TannerRitchie Publishing provides interesting daily extracts from MEMSO, which aim to illustrate some little-known event that tend to range between the surprising and the bizarre. Since the spring we've seen saltpetre diggers running amok, James VI's invention of the air conditioner, Elizabeth I's emoticons, and early-modern waterboarding.
