Good news - remote pre-ordering and many other things are going to be restored at the British Library over the next month.
Still a long way to go, but thanks to BL staff for all their work in getting things running again!

The People of 1381 team are devastated by the tragic news of Helen Snelson's death. Helen was an immense support to the project, endlessly generous and helpful in developing our public engagement. The historical community will desperately miss her. A terrible loss.
