UK Historians' Manuscripts Survey

Here you will find the locations of papers for selected British historians. We have concentrated on the late twentieth century and defined historian broadly, not wishing to second-guess the scholars people might look for here. Some entries show that our investigation is still in progress: if you would like to add a location, a correction, or suggest a British historian for inclusion, please fill in the web form.

To compile the information we have used the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB), Papers of British Antiquaries and Historians (HMC, 2003), the National Register of Archives, the Archives Hub and general web searching. To the left of each historian you will find a link to their entry in the ODNB.

It is possible to view the list ordered alphabetically by name, or by birth or death date.
