Harvard Law School collection of English
« on: Tuesday 05 October 04 04:03 BST (UK) »
Just received this from the Admin. of one of my mailing lists. Harvard Law School has a collection of English
 deeds in their library and these deeds are described on their website, including all names and locations contained therein. Some of these deeds concern land in America, but most of them are for land in England.
They go back as early as the 1300s and go trough to at least the late 1700s. Apparently Harvard bought several large collections of deeds and other documents.
I have no idea why an American university would want to own English documents.
Anyway, for anybody with land-owning ancestors, here is the URL:
 
http://www.law.harvard.edu/library/collections/special/collections/manuscripts/deeds/

Cheers,

Have corrected URL. Should work now. Thanks, Peter, for catching that, so quickly.
