London Lives 1690 to 1800 Crime, Poverty and Social Policy in the Metropolis
A fascinating site which allows users to learn about the lives of the poor in London between 1690 and 1800. A large number of documents have been digitized and are available for online browsing. In addition, researchers have gone through the documents and compiled biographies of many people. Because many of the documents come from the criminal justice system, the biographies include quite a few criminals, but the biographies I read were not explicit. Intended for adults, but could be interesting for older homeschoolers.
