The subject of this dataset are the international links between banks in the City of London. Non-British banks had a presence in the City of London via their agent or correspondent who were physically located there. Commonly, non-British banks used more than one agent or correspondent, and their presence was recorded in the Bankers’ Almanac for the relevant year. By modelling the links between agents and correspondents, this dataset explores the kinds of specialisms that they built up and the intensity of their relationships with certain types of bank, or with banks from certain geographical locations. Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.
