The quantity and variety of local history resources available on the internet continues to increase exponentially, and these resources are now not only very valuable as research tools but for much local history work have become simply essential. This booklet identifies 1000 websites which are potentially of major value and great interest to local historians in Britain-some 430 of these being newly included in this edition. It is of course selective-no listing of this sort could possibly be anything else-and it will unavoidably be outdated quite quickly, as addresses change and sites are closed. However, regular updates will be made. Indeed, for this edition over 210 previous entries have been deleted, mostly because the websites no longer function satisfactorily, or they are untraceable and presumed deleted, or they have been absorbed into a different website. Every site has been checked online and website addresses have been updated as required.
