The Legal Records team at The National Archives is looking for volunteers to create new item descriptions for cases brought before the Court of the Exchequer in the 17th century found in the original court indexes to bills and answers submitted during litigation. Counties that remain to be listed include Berkshire, Dorset, Durham, Leicestershire, Monmouthshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Northumberland, Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Rutland, Shropshire, Somerset, Staffordshire, Suffolk, Surrey, Sussex, Warwickshire, Westmorland, Wiltshire, Worcestershire and Yorkshire, though others may still be available.

If you like a challenge and have experience of Latin and 17th-century palaeography please get in touch with Dr Dan Gosling, Early Modern Legal Records Specialist (Daniel.Gosling@nationalarchives.gov.uk), for more details.’
