Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England
The Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England (PASE) is a database and associated website that aims to collate everything that was written in contemporary records about anyone who lived in Anglo-Saxon England, in a prosopography.[1] The PASE online database[2] presents details (which it calls factoids) of the lives of every recorded individual who lived in, or was closely connected with, Anglo-Saxon England from 597 to 1087,[3] with specific citations to (and often quotations from) each primary source describing each factoid.
PASE was funded by the British Arts and Humanities Research Council from 2000 to 2008 as a major research project based at King's College London in the Department of History and the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, and at the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic, University of Cambridge.[1][3][4]
The first phase of the project was launched at the British Academy on the 27 May 2005 and is freely available on the Internet at www.pase.ac.uk.[2] A second phase (PASE2), released on 10 August 2010, added information drawn chiefly from the Domesday Book to the database.[3][5]
