18th Century Parliamentary Papers Collection 1688-1834 - Available Now
The Library has acquired access to the 18th-Century Parliamentary Papers Collection 1688-1834. This is a major new primary source of UK official documents for those involved in history and the social sciences.
The collection covers the period from the Glorious Revolution in 1688 to the destruction by fire of Westminster in 1834.
It illuminates many aspects of eighteenth-century history, from the widespread use of automated workflow during the Industrial Revolution to the impact of the American Revolution. Social and scientific developments are also tracked from India's early colonisation to the famed creation of the longitude clocks by John Harrison. There is much reference to Ireland, particularly leading up to the Act of Union.
