An interactive table for exploring the Power of Petitioning State Papers petitions data.

Notes on the Explorer

Filtering:

All columns are filterable.

  • Text filters match any part of a cell; just start typing to see a list of possible matches
  • The year filter matches ranges using / as separator
    • eg “/1630” = up to 1630, “1630/” = 1630 and later, “1630/1630” = 1630 only, and “1630/1632” = 1630 to 1632

Sorting:

By default, the table is sorted by year.

  • All columns are sortable by clicking on the header
  • Sort multiple columns using the Shift key
  • Empty cells are sorted to the end of the table

Notes on the Data

More information about the dataset can be found in the dataset documentation and in the British History Online edition Introduction.

Many petitions are undated and the year has usually been derived from archival context; the year might differ slightly from the date.
