Courses
This online course provides an overview of how to trace family history in Britain from the present day to the 16th century using a range of digital and archival sources.
Early modern women were told to ‘stay home and meddle with your housewifery’, but many of them did not. This course will explore the ways that women at all levels of society across England were politically active, intelligent, and influential.
