> *Of possible interest (we hope) to archivists and users of archives is
> the fact that the /Anglo-Norman Dictionary/ (AND), a major academic
> project whose origins go back to 1947, is now available as an online
> resource on the website of The Anglo-Norman Online Hub. The AND seeks to
> record and explain 'Anglo-Norman', the form of French used in the British
> Isles after the Norman Conquest. Its documentary base contains
> substantial quantities of non-literary material (records, administrative
> and legal documents, historical sources. Its online format allows for
> various search procedures as well as providing a simple, accessible
> standard dictionary 'look-up' facility. *
>
> *The AND is recognized as an authoritative reference work used
> internationally by scholars who want to read and understand
> Anglo-Norman. A major revision (directed by Professor David Trotter) is
> currently under way, and so far A to K has been completed in this second
> edition (the website also makes available the first edition of L to Z,
> published in 1983-1992). *

> *Access to the entire Dictionary (A--Z) is completely free at the above
