18th and 19th Century House of Commons Parliamentary Papers
The House of Commons Parliamentary Papers are vital to the historical record of Britain, its former Colonies and the wider world. This 18th century collection features publications published officially by the House of Commons or the House of Lords from 1688 to 1834, including sessional papers and other material such as Journals and Private Acts. The material was brought together and digitized from the major collections of parliamentary papers at the University of Southampton, the British Library, and the University of Cambridge. Contains page images and searchable full text for each paper, along with detailed indexing.

The 19th Century collection was derived from the Chadwyck-Healey microfiche edition of the nineteenth century House of Commons Sessional Papers. Published between 1980 and 1983, the microfiche edition includes filmed images of 77,671 papers, covering nearly 4.2 million pages. The accompanying 5 volume index, Peter Cockton’s “Subject Catalogue of the House of Commons Parliamentary Papers, 1801-1900” was the first thematic listing of the complete set of parliamentary papers. HCPP online brings these two resources together for the 19th century, unlocking 100 years of policy making, investigation, correspondence and reporting for researchers of all kinds.
