Surrey Tithe Records Project
4th Jan, 2010 to 28th Feb, 2010
In partnership with Surrey Wildlife Trust, Surrey History Centre have now had all the tithe maps of parishes within the modern county digitally photographed, with financial assistance from Surrey Archaeological Society and Surrey History Trust. The resulting photographs are of an extremely high quality and Archangel software allows navigation around the maps. In conjunction with the Archaeological Society, Surrey History Centre are now planning a volunteer project to transcribe the apportionments, which give information about ownership, occupation and land use. When the transcription project is completed, the digitised maps and apportionment data will be available for purchase on CD, with the ultimate intention that they should be available online.
