WiDACT: the Wiki Data Accumulator for the Cities and Towns of England and Wales, 1200-1700

The WiDACT is a wiki site that shares research findings on the cities and towns of England and Wales. Researchers may post relevant links to documents organized by town and time. The contents of the document may then be summarized and/or translated and commented upon. The goals of the WiDACT are

  • furthering the history of the city and towns of England and Wales
  • enabling the exploitation of the TNA documents available on the AALT
  • expanding the research community
  • lowering the cost of research by expanding online research capability
  • providing a collaborative model of research

Conventions

  • link under the date of the document, not the date of the events recounting
  • copy and paste the link from the original site, otherwise you may mis-copy it
  • enter data in the series: description, link, (and, if you choose) translation link (translation link in the series Town, Year, Letter)
