The London Lives Project

The London Lives Project is a digital archive that collects, preserves, and makes accessible historical records related to crime, poverty, and social life in London from the 18th and 19th centuries. By aggregating documents such as court records, police reports, and prison registers, it offers researchers and the public valuable insights into everyday life, social justice, and governance during that period. The project aims to deepen understanding of London's social history by providing a comprehensive, searchable resource to study how people lived, worked, and interacted with authorities.
