British History Online user survey

Please help us to improve British History Online

British History Online (BHO) is a digital library of nearly 1300 volumes of primary and secondary content, with a focus on British and Irish history, c1200-1800. BHO is the creation of the Institute of Historical Research, School of Advanced Study, University of London, and is used by students, researchers and teachers, worldwide.

BHO editorial and technical staff are now looking to develop the resource so it remains central to the study of British and Irish history in the 2020s. We invite you to take our short Survey which will help us identity how BHO is used, what you'd like to see in the future, and how best to focus our development work. Thank you.
