ALTHOUGH many resist the idea that hard copy print products – call them books! - are on the way out, there are obvious advantages with digital files. Whereas, for example, sourcing Anglo-Saxon charters once required a dusty encounter in an academic library, much can now be achieved online from the ‘electronic Sawyer’, a version of Peter Sawyer’s annotated list and bibliography, hosted at the Centre for Computing in the Humanities at King’s College, London. The charters themselves, however, are published in a mammoth 30-volume operation by Oxford University Press. Sean Miller’s Charters of the New Minster (later Hyde Abbey) has been in print since 2001 and covers 34 pre-Conquest documents, including the will of Alfred the Great.
