"Tudor academics rejoice! Now you don't have to buy a ticket to England to access the State Papers from the Tudor Era housed in the British Library. Starting this week (though I'm not sure when) you can read them from the comfort of your own desktop. This year they're releasing documents from 1509 - 1603 (the Tudors), and two years from now they'll expand the online collection to include papers till 1714. Check it out:
