A preliminary or ‘beta’ version of the Revised Sawyer database, designated the ‘Electronic Sawyer’, was first made available online in 2007, with technical support from the Centre for Computing in the Humanities (CCH) at King’s College London. It presented the data in browsable form, but in that form had limited ‘search’ facilities. In 2010 the Electronic Sawyer underwent significant further development at CCH, and it is now hosted at Cambridge. This is the form in which the data collected for the Revised Sawyer is currently available online.
