The project has an innovative methodological approach and will produce an on-line searchable resource for public use of immense value and interest to genealogists as well as social, political and military historians. The project which begins in October this year will employ two Research Assistants and will also offer one Doctoral Research Studentship. The whole team will also work on a monograph, conference papers, and articles. Dr Bell, Director of Teaching and Learning at the ICMA Centre is delighted with the award saying ?This is great news for both the ICMA Cente and the University of Reading , confirming our place as a premier university for research.?
