Guardian, Seek and ye shall find, 19 May 09

"Ecclesiastical history is not, at first glance, a topic naturally associated with the web. Yet a pioneering web database is taking shape that whizzes church history smartly into the 21st century. The Clergy of the Church of England database (CCEd) aims to provide a constantly updated digital record of the identity and career of every Anglican clergy man in England and Wales over three centuries, from the Reformation to the start of the Victorian age."

Find The Clergy Database here. I thought this was a fascinating article, demonstrating the potential of online resources as a significant tool of study (even though the clergy is not my area!).
