The Workhouse
The British workhouse was "a fascinating mixture of social history, politics, economics and architecture." This site includes information about life in the workhouse, education for the poor, poor law unions, parish workhouses, literature, workhouse buildings, workhouses outside Britain, and much more. Features the full text of laws enacted between 1601 and 1834, a glossary, a timeline, and a list of related links and other resources. From an amateur historian.
