http://airminded.org/2009/07/01/the-best-things-in-life-were-freeThe Royal Historical Society has for some years maintained an online bibliography of British and Irish history, updated three times a year. It currently has over 460,000 records. It’s a fantastic resource for scholars interested in any aspect of the history of the British Isles, not least because it’s free. But from 1 January 2010 it won’t be: it will be rebranded as the Bibliography of British and Irish History which will be sold by Brepols, with subscriptions available for institutions and individuals.This is a shame, of course. A resource which was freely available to anyone with an internet connection will now only be open to those who can afford to pay.http://www.rhs.ac.uk/bibl
