Dear list,
The Old Bailey Online is a collection of all the surviving transcripts
of trials heard there from 1674 to 1913, curated to a very high
standard. IMHO, it's probably the single best English historical source
on the web.

Mentioned on wikipedia under AHRC:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_and_Humanities_Research_Council#Old_Bail…
As I have recently edited two entries to include links to trials on
there,* I was wondering if there has been any more systematic efforts to
add these sources to entries? Is there a convenient way of locating
entries that might be relevant?

and Sarah Whitehead:

I have also started a category, people tried at the Old Bailey:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_tried_at_the_Old_Bailey
And just found that there is a template for OB trials:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Old_Bailey
But not found it used anywhere.
