UMBC now has trial access to the database British Records on the Atlantic World, 1700-1900.

This series brings together a wealth of collections spanning two centuries of Britain's colonisation, commercial, missionary and even literary relations with Africa and the Americas. Thirty-three collections are included, ranging from early colonial and missionary records from West Africa to Australian records to Jamaican plantation records to eccleastical, court and land records from Manchester cathedral.

You are free to search and browse results from all collections, but you may only view images in items included in the trial. These are identified with the following icon:
