Medieval History
Scholars at the University of York are to launch a major research project focusing on the impact and extent of immigration into England in the Middle Ages.
The study, backed by a £784,545 grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, will create a huge database of around 80,000 immigrants who lived in England between 1330 and 1550. Once the database is completed, in 2015, it will be freely accessible to all online and will offer much material that has never been available before outside academia for family and local historians.
