Welcome . . .
. . to the Nottingham Elites database, a site designed for historians of every kind who have an interest in recording,
analysing and adding to data on the involvement of local people in the affairs of the city and city life.
The database contains information on some 3000 individuals who were actively involved in city institutions and civil society in the
first half of the twentieth century. It covers those who stood for civic office as councillors or Poor Law guardians,
were magistrates or were involved in one or more of the numerous voluntary associations and charities of that period.
Adding to the Database
One of the things particularly we would like to encourage is that users add to the information already collected on individuals
and organisations. The quantity of information we have on each varies enormously: for those always in the public eye,
data collection was relatively easy, but for those less visible this was much less the case.
But we know, too, that there is a wealth of community-based knowledge out there about this, that or the other.
So if you can add to what we already know, please do by going to our
data collection link.
