If you are interested in the medieval or early modern past, the most important research tool for your research is now easier and cheaper than ever to access.

Working with multiple sources.

Not only are we currently providing personal access to Medieval and Early Modern Sources Online (MEMSO) at our cheapest rates during the Spring Sale, but you can now also access MEMSO for just $10, with unlimited searches, the ability to view and print the books contained in MEMSO, and the ability to download from our large collection of images from the British State Papers.


Why do I need access to MEMSO?

MEMSO contains a constantly growing collection of key sources for medieval and early modern history, specializing in the history of Britain and it relations with Europe, Colonial North America and Asia. MEMSO is also widely used across the humanities, and a key resource for English literature, religion and legal history.

But MEMSO is much than a simple collection of sources. MEMSO provides advanced tools to exploit the sources in ways impossible with the original books, or through any other web interface:-

• Advanced, instantaneous full text searches of the entire resource, or just the sub-sets of sources you use.

• Detailed bookmark navigation for each and every source in the database to find the material you need quickly - a unique and important difference between MEMSO and other online publications.

• Consult multiple books and manuscripts, side by side. Researchers rarely have one book open at a time - you need to be able to open and compare many books at once. MEMSO implements an advanced desktop/window interface that lets you consult the sources in a way that dramatically increases the power and accessibility of this research tool.

• Download full ebooks* and high definition scans of manuscripts to keep forever, print in full or use offline.

 It's not just the books - it's how you can use them.

Designed by historians for historians, MEMSO is the unquestioned leader in providing, quality, accessible, historical sources, optimized for the way YOU work.
