Hi there, Some 9 years (gosh, that long!) ago I finished a PhD thesis at the University of Leeds entitled "Contextual studies of the dramatic records in the area around The Wash, c. 1350-1550". This went back and retranscribed some Malone Society Collections records from the archives, as well as transcribing many new ones, and discussed what we could discover about the dramatic and para-dramatic events from examining the records in their documentary context. I gave a copy to REED when it was finished, but noticed recently that the British Library's eThOS service had a PDF of this online, and asked their permission (having previously asked the University of Leeds) whether it was okay to put this PDF online. (Electronic licensing being something I encounter a lot in my day job, I wanted to do it legally.) The BL finally got back to me and said it is fine for me to put this online, and so I have done so, in case anyone is interested at all. Those interested in REED records might be interested in the 134 pages of appendices transcribing extracts from Norfolk and Lincolnshire: 1:a large number of documents from King's Lynn; 2:Snettisham Churchwardens' Accounts; 3:Lestrange of Hunstanton Household Accounts; 4:Tilney All Saints Churchwardens' Accounts; 5 Lincolnshire: Leverton, Long Sutton, and Sutterton Churchwardens' Accounts. There is an abstract and links to the PDF and its records in various catalogues at: http://james.blushingbunny.net/phd.html The PDF is extremely low-resolution and I'm sure I could produce something better if I dug out the original files. But I thought it better to put this online than put nothing online, just in case someone was ever interested. Best, Dr James Cummings Research Technology Services University of Oxford
