Welcome to the MarineLives project.
The MarineLives collaborative public history project was established in 2012 to digitise, transcribe and annotate the manuscript records of the English High Court of Admiralty. The original records are held at the National Archives in Kew. The project is led and advised by academics and members of the general public.
We run regular team based transcription programmes, facilitated by trained team leaders, with teams of three or four volunteer associates. These programmes last twelve weeks, and will take a transcriber from a novice to a confident transcriber in that space of time.

The MarineLives vision is to digitise English High Court of Admiralty records from the 1650s and 1660s, and to make them freely available, fully text searchable, collaboratively transcribed and annotated. These records are then available as a resource for teaching, research, and outreach.
