Medieval and Early Modern Sources Online 

This database contains the full text of various British and Scottish Calendars (of Papers, Letters, Patent Rolls), Accounts, Acts, Histories, and Registers. It's an ongoing project; many titles are partially complete online and others have yet to appear.
Full text searching of keywords and phrases is supported and enhances access to the material.

The film collections usually have introductory notes and reel guides, both brief, at the beginning of the film. The reel guides are frequently only listings of inclusive dates. Occasionally, if the film is based upon a collection which has a printed inventory, a copy of that guide will be photographed on the first reel and serves as an index.
