Welcome to the Merchant Research Project wiki.
This wiki is a collaborative platform for scholars interested in the social, commercial and material life of merchants in mid-C17th England.
Specifically, the wiki has been developed as a resource on the social, commercial and material life and environment of the Kent, London and Surat merchant Sir George Oxenden in the mid-C17th century. However, it has the potential, through collaboration, to offer a broader connected micro-history of mid-C17th commercial life.
The emphasis of the wiki is on making visible, and connecting, previously unpublished primary sources.
The content of this wiki includes primary research guides, finding aids, research tools, and synthesised material.
