About Georgian Papers Online

Georgian Papers Online is a catalogue created by the Royal Archives to make available in digitised form the historic manuscripts held within the Georgian Papers collections in the Royal Archives and Royal Library. The majority of the papers, which contain both official and private material, date from the reigns of George III and to a lesser extent, George IV, although papers from the reigns of George I, George II and William IV are also included, as are those relating to other members of the Royal Family and Royal Household from the Georgian period.

Please note this is not yet a complete catalogue of the Georgian Papers in the Royal Archives and Royal Library. Georgian Papers Online will be updated with new collections as and when they are ready for publication; please see What's in the catalogue?

It should be noted that some material in the Georgian Papers may contain terms and opinions that reflect the views of the author, or the period in which the item was written or recorded, that are not considered appropriate today. While the information may not reflect current understanding, it is provided in a historical context.
