The Proceedings of the Old Bailey 1674-1913
A fully searchable edition of the largest body of texts detailing the lives of non-elite people ever published, containing 197,745 criminal trials held at London's central criminal court.
http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/
A sister publication of the Old Bailey Proceedings, the Ordinary’s Accounts, containing biographies of the prisoners executed at Tyburn, were regularly published during the century following the inception of the Old Bailey Proceedings. They are a valuable source of information about both elite attitudes towards criminality and the lives, attitudes, and dying behaviour of executed convicts. This website includes all surviving accounts relating to convicts tried at regular sessions of the Old Bailey court which were published under the name of the Ordinary of Newgate.
