The Georgian Papers Programme - Duration: 3:20.

So the Georgian Papers Project, I think,

is a remarkable, academically exciting

enterprise. It takes advantage of the new

digital methods we have to make available

a quite remarkably comprehensive picture

of the politics and life of the court of

George III in the late 18th century. This enables

us to look at quite familiar documents as well as

new ones in an entirely new light and

make connections between them in new ways

that illuminate them

in ways we haven't previously been able to do.

The Georgian Papers is a wonderful opportunity

to put out for researchers around the

world an astonishing collection of the

personal correspondence, the political

correspondence, the humdrum household

affairs of a monarchy that ruled Britain from

1714 to 1837. A succession of kings who

transformed themselves from petty German

princelings into quintessentially English

monarchs.

I think the Georgian Papers Programme is important

because it allows insight into the Royal Household as

an institution in age of extraordinary

transformation.

Cultural, political, scientific but also

transformation of our notions of the public and the private

So the most exciting thing, I

think, for many people, in these papers

is the fact they cover the history of the British

monarchy at one of the most exciting and important

times in the development of both the monarchy and the

wider constitution. It was the time of the loss of

America, the evolution of cabinet

government as we know it, of a changing

relationship between King and ministers and here

we see those things documented in the

day-to-day experience of the King and

his ministers, without hindsight. They

give us incredibly immediate senses of what

was going as far as these actors

were concerned.

For me, the great opportunity is to study the evolution

of the monarchy as an indicator of English,

British culture. Watching how

incoming Germans are swiftly transformed

George III is defiantly British. He's

often known as 'Farmer George', he's

committed to things which make him

British. His identification with the Navy,

his celebration of naval success, something

that no German prince of his great

grandfather's generation would have

noticed. For him, this is really

important.

He's taken on board the whole message

and he will hand that 'Britishness' on to

the next generation of Hanoverian monarchs.

I was very interested to see Queen Charlotte's papers.

The Royal Queen became an important patron of the

arts and particularly of female achievement

in the public realm.

And we find a fascinating letter in which she

describes herself as an affectionate

friend, which is an intimate gesture

from a Royal Queen to one of her subjects
