Amongst the digitized
resources on the website is a manuscript from the
Cambridge University Library MS Add.6707 vol. 9 by Sir Robert Forsyth
Scott, ‘Indians and Others Admitted to the Four Inns of Court, in
chronological order’. The searchable MS (with a transcription and
footnotes), provides short biographical details on non-British
entrants to the four Inns of Court during the latter half of the
nineteenth century.
The digitization of history project was started in May 2007 by a group of graduate students, faculty, and visiting faculty at the University of Cambridge, and is supported by the Centre for History and Economics at Harvard University and at King's College Cambridge. It seeks to encourage discussion of the consequences of new uses of information for historians, and to explore new ways of increasing access to archives and other sources of information.
