Anglo-American Legal Tradition
The Anglo-American Legal Tradition website, run by Professor R.C. Palmer of the University of Houston, houses thousands of digital images of Medieval and Early Modern English legal documents (memoranda rolls, Curia Regis and Coram Rege rolls, feet of fines), and provides palaeographic assistance and research material upon many aspects of English legal history and law. In recent weeks images of Pipe Rolls and King’s Bench rolls have been uploaded.
