Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

The Episcopal Acta Project collects and edits the surviving charters issued by English bishops from the Norman Conquest to the start of bishops' registers in each diocese. It aims to provide information about the English Church from the eleventh to thirteenth centuries. The Episcopal Acta Database was designed in 1995-6 in conjunction with the British Academy Computing officer. In 2002 a searchable front end was developed.

Main Topics:

Each individual manuscript of a document edited in the English Episcopal Acta Series has a record entry within the database, recording provenance, dates, sealing and measurements for documents surviving as original charters, a description of contents, notes on the charter as contained in the series, and details of previous printings of the documents again as contained in the printed series. There is also a link to a full transcript of the charter as edited in the printed series.
