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. To give visitors an idea of the type of archival materials represented, licence-free access can be found to one or two individual documents from each online collection. (Academic librarians are welcome to apply for a full 30-day TRIAL ACCOUNT for any of the collections in British Online Archives or for the COMMUNIST PARTY OF GREAT BRITAIN ARCHIVE, 1920-1991.)
