The Department of Digital Humanities at King's College London is undertaking a short information gathering exercise for a resource that is likely to be of great use to those studying fifteenth century England.
The project is concerned with Inquisitions Post Mortem (IPMs), which are records of the lands held at death by tenants of the crown. Thousands of IPMs are held at the National Archives, and some have been calendared. Our project will make the IPMs from 1236 to 1509 a freely accessible digital resource for historians, genealogists, and other interested parties.
We would very much value the input of experts in the field to ensure that we create a resource that best meets the needs of its users. If you would be interested in completing a brief questionnaire about the resource, please visit the IPM blog for more information:
The questionnaire will be open until Friday 3rd August. If you have any questions about the project, please contact charlotte.tupman@kcl.ac.uk
With many thanks,
David Little Charlotte Tupman
