Dr Williams’s Library in London will be the venue for the public launch on 11 June of Dissenting Academies Online, an innovative digital resource for the history of the dissenting academies of the late seventeenth to early nineteenth centuries.
This represents the first major deliverable from the Dissenting Academies Project, a collaboration between the Dr Williams’s Centre for Dissenting Studies and the Sussex Centre for Intellectual History.
Dissenting Academies Online has two main components, each drawing upon a wide range of archival and other primary and secondary sources.
Dissenting Academies Online: Database and Encyclopedia has been funded by the Leverhulme Trust and contains details of academies, students, tutors, and archives, with accompanying articles.
Dissenting Academies Online: Virtual Library System has been funded by the AHRC/ESRC Religion and Society Programme and is a reconstruction of some of the key academy libraries and their loans.
Attendance at the launch is free but advance registration is required. Programme and booking information may be found at:
