Welcome to British Online Archives from Microform Academic Publishers

Microform Academic Publishers' online gateway to British archives builds on a tradition of over fifty years at the forefront of archival preservation and publishing in Britain. Our intention is to provide scholars with remote access to entire primary sources for the purpose of academic study and research across many disciplines in humanities and social sciences, including: minutes of political parties; reports of national institutions; official government publications; commercial archives relating to the Industrial Revolution, the slave trade or colonisation; the papers of individuals prominent in the history of Britain and its Empire during the modern era; missionary, naval and other records relating to Africa, Asia and the Americas.

The digitised collections which comprise this website are drawn both from recently scanned or microfilmed manuscripts and archives and from our extensive PUBLICATIONS CATALOGUE. In addition, where permissions to scan microfilms exist, customised collections can be made accessible to individual researchers or for academic courses through THE NICHE - ONLINE MICROFILMS zone.

(Academic librarians are welcome to apply for a full 30-day TRIAL ACCOUNT for any of the BOA collections.)
