EMR is a research portal for the early modern period (c.1500-1800 CE). It only lists websites that are free to access and focuses on high-quality resources that are suitable for advanced research, study and teaching.
There are three categories of resource.
I’ve moved away from listing large numbers of interpretative sites, blogs, etc on this website, but I do retain some examples that I like. These might include:
Websites are notoriously ephemeral and changeable!
If you follow a link and something doesn’t look right, be careful. The site could have been hacked or cybersquatted since I last visited it.
I aim to check for dead/moved links once a year or so [see the site footer], but I don’t regularly review sites for other changes to content. The short descriptions are based on what a site said about itself at the time I added or last reviewed it.
Very occasionally I may list an archived version of a site that is no longer available online, but only if the archived site hasn’t lost any significant functions (eg search) and isn’t heavily dependent on content that needs to be kept up to date (eg external links).
You can report problems with sites here. If you suspect a serious security problem with a site you should try to contain its owners first.
While I aim to make this site a useful guide, it’s far from a comprehensive one. It’s primarily restricted to English-language resources.
Tags are my own interpretations and are also not entirely reliable (I’m working on making them more consistent). They should be considered as guidance only.
[Keyword search has been disabled as it’s not working the way I’d like. I hope to reinstate it later.]
The site is currently built using Quarto.
