press release announcing 'a new JISC-funded website that lets users delve deep into the capital's past, revolutionising our understanding of London's history '

The Online Historical Population Reports (OHPR) collection provides online access to the complete British population reports for Britain and Ireland from 1801 to 1937. The collection goes far beyond the basic population reports with a wealth of textual and statistical material which provide an in-depth view of the economy, society (through births, deaths and marriages) and medicine during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

An excellent collection of sites by those awesome librarians at the University of Washington about British and Irish history. Well-organised and good quality.

" British History Online British History Online is the digital library containing some of the core printed primary and secondary sources for the medieval and modern history of the British Isles. Created by the Institute of Historical Research and the History of Parliament Trust, we aim to support academic and personal users around the world in their learning, teaching and research." Syas it all, really.

Primary sources on the concentration camps before the outbreak of war.

Primary sources focussing on the Nazi concentration camps prior to the outbreak of war.

Although this is an online secondary source site (which in my experience are usually superficial and dodgy) the information seems to be quite thorough and good-quality. That's probably because it's run by University College London. Many interesting and informative themes are picked up. Definitely good for student research or classwork/homework.
