Crime in the Community: Enhancing User Engagement for Teaching and Research with the Old Bailey Online
The Old Bailey web site, containing 120,000,000 words of highly tagged and accurately transcribed historical text, is accessed by a wide community, but academic users have to date not fully exploited this resource and its advanced functionality in their teaching, learning and research.
The project will investigate in particular how the site is currently used (or not used) in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and academic research. The outcome of this investigation will inform the creation of new online facilities, tutorials and study guides,
