Connected Histories (launched on 31 March 2011 at is a federated search facility for a wide range of distributed digital resources relating to early modern and nineteenth-century British history. Through the combination of web crawling and the application of a Natural Language Processing methodology it has created a non-intrusive, distanced tagging of the data within those distributed sources to facilitate more sophisticated and structured searching. Using metadata and other available background information, the project has created a search facility that adapts to each resource (depending on whether and how the data is tagged, and on the text structure) to allow searching across the full range of chosen sources for names, places, and dates, as well as keywords and phrases.

Background information about the search results is delivered to the end user, and a facility to save and export search results for further analysis has also been provided. Partners.
