We hope that this wiki will in due course come to live up to its somewhat grand name. It is called 'International' because in addition to the vast amount of material that exists in English, we intend to add information about materials in other languages such as translations of ballads, secondary literature, children's fiction, literature on foreign analogues of Robin Hood etc. Arguably 'Bibliography' is a misnomer as the site already includes a wealth of all sorts of information one would not nor&shy;mally expect to find in a biblio&shy;gra&shy;phy, but the biblio&shy;gra&shy;phical aspect is in all cases taken quite seriously, and there is already a wiki named the Robin Hood Wiki, so another name had to be found for the site.</div>

This was begun about two years earlier. About one hundred of the 'new' place-names found have yet to be added to the site

It is hoped this wiki will in due course come to live up to its somewhat grand title. I have called it "International" because in addition to the vast amount of material that exists in English, I intend to add information about materials in other languages such as translations of ballads, secondary literature, children's fiction, literature on foreign analogues of Robin Hood etc. Arguably "Bibliography" is a misnomer as the site already includes a wealth of all sorts of information one would not nor&shy;mally expect to find in a biblio&shy;gra&shy;phy, but the biblio&shy;gra&shy;phical aspect is in all cases taken quite seriously, and there is already a wiki named the Robin Hood Wiki, so I had to find another name for the site.</div>

The menu items in the top right area of the site &ndash; or just below the site logo when the page is viewed on a small device &ndash; provide a rough guide to the topics and genres covered on IRHB. Given the vastness of the Robin Hood tradition &mdash; and this is no exaggeration &mdash; the site will always remain work in progress. This is important to keep in mind when reading specific entries, for although I sometimes gather materials from several sources and write a more or less well-rounded in-depth page on some topic, more often than not I work my way through the sources and add the various nuggets they contain where I believe they belong in the structure I have created. So any entry may at a given time lack important pieces of information because I have not yet got round to adding them. Over time this problem should become less pronounced. At present there is at least some information on each topic or area of interest. As time permits I gradually add information under all headings, but as there is such a wealth of data I have felt it necessary to focus, for the time being, on a couple of areas in order to retain the feeling &ndash; illusion? &ndash; that I am making measurable progress. Current high priority areas are [[Allusions|allusions]] (especially from the 16th and 17th centuries), historical records, and especially [[place-names|place-names]]. With regard to the latter a milestone was reached on 19 Feb. 2018 when I entered the 600th English place-name. On 25 Oct. 2018 the 700th place-name was entered.</div>

At present there is at least some information on each topic or area of interest.

<div id="frontpage-current-focus" class="frontpage">On 27 April 2018 I finished a systematic search for Robin Hood-related place-names on the thousands of [http://maps.nls.uk/os/6inch-england-and-wales/index.html 6" O.S. maps of England online at the map subsite of the National Library of Scotland] which I had begun about two years earlier. More than 150 of the 'new' place-names I have found have not yet been added to the site. In addition to work on these I am currently busy adding [[historiography#records|records]] to the Historiography section.</div>

Unlike many other wikis, this one cannot be edited or added to by casual visitors who also cannot sign up via the site. The reason for this restrictive policy is that I wish to avoid vandalism and confine active membership to people with knowledge of the Robin Hood tradition. Contributors are more than welcome.

Short introduction

We hope that this wiki will in due course come to live up to its somewhat grand name. It is called 'International' because in addition to the vast amount of material that exists in English, we intend to add information about materials in other languages such as translations of ballads, secondary literature, children's fiction, literature on foreign analogues of Robin Hood etc. Arguably 'Bibliography' is a misnomer as the site already includes a wealth of all sorts of information one would not nor­mally expect to find in a biblio­gra­phy, but the biblio­gra­phical aspect is in all cases taken quite seriously, and there is already a wiki named the Robin Hood Wiki, so another name had to be found for the site.

Latest news

NEW subsite: IRHB Editions, currently with a single edition: A Gest of Robyn Hode
  • 2024-03-12: All tithe awards for the following English counties have now been searched for Robin Hood-related place names: Bed­ford­shire, Berk­shire, Cambridge­shire, Che­shire, Cum­ber­land, Der­by­shire, Hunting­don­shire, Lan­ca­shire, Lin­coln­shire, Middle­sex, Notting­ham­shire, Rut­land, West­morl­and, and York­shire. Some fieldnames have yet to be entered, along with some 300 place names from other sources.
  • 2022-06-16: the link to the Contact page in the Contact section below has not worked for a couple of weeks. It has now been fixed.
  • 2021-01-10: two weeks of behind-the-scenes updates to IRHB have been completed. We apologize for any convenience this has caused in the form of instability, lack of responsiveness, and brief offline periods.
  • 2020-12-30: IRHB's contact form has not been working for a couple of weeks. This has now been fixed
  • 2020-11-04: The 900th English Robin Hood-related place-name was entered
  • 2020-06-09: a warm welcome to Jon Snurka. Jon will help add and update pages at IRHB. For now at least, his chief focus will be on Children's books and Films
  • 2018-04-27: a systematic search for Robin Hood-related place-names in the thousands of 6" O.S. maps of England online at the map subsite of the National Library of Scotland was completed. This was begun about two years earlier. About one hundred of the 'new' place-names found have yet to be added to the site

Work in progress

The menu items in the top right area of the site – or just below the site logo when the page is viewed on a small device – provide a rough guide to the topics and genres covered on IRHB. Given the vastness of the Robin Hood tradition — and this is no exaggeration — the site will always remain a work in progress. This is important to keep in mind when reading specific entries, for although we sometimes gather materials from several sources and write a more or less well-rounded in-depth page on some topic, more often than not we work our way through the sources and add the various nuggets they contain where we believe they belong in the structure we have created. So any entry may at a given time lack important pieces of information because nobody has got round to adding them yet. Over time this problem should become less pronounced. At present there is at least some information on each topic or area of interest. As time permits, we gradually add information under all headings, but as there is such a wealth of data we have felt it necessary to focus, for the time being, on a few areas in order to retain the feeling – illusion? – that we are making measurable progress. Current high priority areas are place-names, allusions (especially from the 16th and 17th centuries), historical records, and children's books.

Participants wanted

Unlike many other wikis, this one cannot be edited or added to by casual visitors who also cannot sign up via the site. The reason for this restrictive policy is that we wish to avoid vandalism and confine active membership to people with knowledge of the Robin Hood tradition. Contributors are more than welcome. There is really only one requirement: a serious interest in anything Hood. The learning curve is not steep if you are used to editing Wikipedia or other Mediawiki sites. If you do not wish to spend time and energy learning Wikipedia-style annotations, you are very welcome to write your contributions as plain text and let us handle the formatting. Your name will of course appear in the byline, and others are not supposed to make major changes to your contributions without your permission. Any pages you write are of course your own intellectual property, though IRHB retains the right to preserve and make available to the public any submitted content. You thus cannot remove pages you have written, but you can publish their content in other media. Please contact the site's administrator if you would like to contribute to IRHB. See next for contact information.

Contact

Please contact Henrik Thiil Nielsen with comments and corrections with regard to both content and technical aspects of the site (bug reports, layout and usability problems — we are aware that a few pages are not yet mobile-friendly). Let us know if you wish to contribute to IRHB. You can reach us via the Contact page.

Section by section

IRHB has grown into quite a large site. If you are a new visitor, the information for each section listed in the boxes below can help you find information on the areas you are most interested in. If you are a regular, it will help you stay up-to-date with changes and additions to the site. It will also give you a good idea which sections of the site are more mature and which are still at an early stage of development. Perhaps you can help create more content for the latter?
