This week's new records span over a century of England's history.
We added two exciting new sets this week. Published in 1924, the Ladies' Who's Who publication documents key information on women from history, including notable individuals and maybe even your very own ancestors.
We've also added 66,453 Baltic Exchange Membership List records and two brand-new newspaper titles from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Ladies' Who's Who
The 9,791 records in this new collection are taken from the 1924 Ladies' Who's Who, a publication documenting the lives of notable British women.
If you've got an ancestor who received renown for her work in science or mathematics - or was part of British high society in the 1920s - you may find her within this new collection.
These new records offer a fascinating insight into upper-class women's history. They may help us to understand the contributions of women to the fields of culture, arts, science and more.
Baltic Exchange Membership Lists
This week's second new collection consists of over 66,000 maritime records, documenting members of the Baltic Exchange from the 1890s up to the 1990s.
