I'll be putting these in Resources by Era, but they are nice to play with!
The Beeb is putting out:
www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/the-reith-lectures/archive/
That is all the Reith lectures as recordings and transcripts.
and
www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/
200,000 oil paintings covering a wide period of art history but so useful for historical writers for details.
ALSO
The British Library has been busy:
The 19thC Historical collection app has 60,000 books. 1000 available to download for free. Bibliolabs, LLC and the British Library have launched the British Library 19th century Historical Collection App for iPad.
More newspapers gone into: http://newspapers.bl.uk/blcs
PLUS the British Library is joining google books, putting 40 million pages from its 1700 -1870 book collection on line through google and its own archives. Work had just begun.
Govt papers from 1509-1714 now online
