How you can help

There is a need to do research from primary sources on a number of English private and public buildings, and on specified English rural and urban local areas, together with a good number of ports and towns in continental Europe and the former Ottoman Empire; on the west coast of India and around the Arabian Gulf; and in Barbados and Jamaica. The end product would be a profile of the specified place

You could contribute to this work in two ways.

Firstly, by suggesting novel primary sources relevant to an understanding of these places, in the early and mid seventeenth century, and particularly in the period 1650-1669.

Secondly, by contributing a draft profile of the specified place, supported by reference to primary (and secondary) sources.

Primary source suggestions and draft profiles can be submitted using the standard place template.
