Essential books and manuscripts
Bringing together the key sources from English, Irish, Scottish and Colonial history with original manuscripts and the latest web technologies, MEMSO has established itself as an indispensible online database for universities, researchers and libraries around the world.
The MEMSO Home Page
MEMSO's catalogue caters to a variety of academic disciplines and research specialisms. Whether your field is history, English or law, or your focus is political, ecclesiastical, social or economic, you will find relevant material in MEMSO.
Sources
Every week, new books or manuscripts are added to MEMSO. Subscribers can request specific titles and series they would like to have added.
Request books
One of the things that makes MEMSO so unique and so popular is the ability of our clients to recommend specific books and series that they would like to see in MEMSO. As MEMSO grows it is shaped to the needs of our subscribers.
Manuscripts
Our printed sources are complemented by a growing collection of original manuscript images, including large collections of State Papers from the UK National Archives in Kew, London.

High definition images are downloaded, opened and arranged for easy viewing. Many manuscripts have never been published in printed form, while others are linked to the calendared versions in the printed State Papers.
