PROSOPOGRAPHY OF
ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND

(PASE)

The aim of the 'Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England' (PASE) is to provide a comprehensive biographical register of recorded inhabitants of Anglo-Saxon England (c. 450-1066). PASE will be accessible in the form of an electronic database, and is intended to facilitate further research in many different aspects of Anglo-Saxon studies.

The project came into existence on 1 January 2000, and is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB) for a period of five years (1 January 2000 - 31 December 2004).

• General description of the project
• Provisional Biographical Register (compiled and maintained by Dr Pelteret and Dr Tinti)
• The official PASE website (King's College London) <under construction>

Additional project staff

A part-time Postgraduate Research Assistant will join the project in Year 2, based at King's College London, and will continue working through Years 3 and 4, and will be directly supervised by the SRF. One technical Project Officer will work full-time for six months in Year 1, and half-time for six months in Year 5.

In each of Years 2 to 5, it is hoped that two AHRB-funded Competition A postgraduate students might be appointed, to work as part-time trainee researchers researching and entering data. This work is envisaged as a suitable part-training for doctoral projects in relevant periods of Anglo-Saxon history and literary history.
