British History Online has been funded by JISC, as part of its Impact and Embedding of Resources strand, to investigate the use of digital resources in Higher Education teaching and research, with particular focus on British History Online.

To that end, we would be very grateful to any British History Online users (frequent or occasional) who could take a few moments to fill in a brief online survey about their use of the site, and their suggestions for what features might improve it.
