Medieval History
A new interactive online database, which will make thousands of the oldest documents in Scotland?s history available to the public, has been officially launched today during an event at the University of Glasgow.
The People of Medieval Scotland (PoMS) project has catalogued over 21,000 individuals mentioned in 8,600 documents. The documents, written between 1093 and 1314, tell the story of Scotland?s transformation from a land of patchwork regions to an established kingdom with fixed borders and modern systems of government.
The records are now online and fully accessible to the public through the online database, allowing academic experts and enthusiastic amateurs alike to learn more about the period. The database will also include free software which has been specially developed for use in schools. Special interactive labs will offer history students creative ways to explore the wealth of information stored within the database.
