Pickman's model's thread for history links

[Pickman's model]

i'll start you off with this little gem i found this afternoon, the irish bureau of military history website. it seems they've digitised all the witness statements they got from participants in the '16 rising and the tan war - and there's at least one there describing irb activity in london from 1895 on. the link? http://www.bureauofmilitaryhistory.ie/

then there's goad fire insurance maps, very interesting: http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/firemaps/fireinsurancemaps.html
