Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.

While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Archery in Finsbury Fields, Headpiece to "Robin Hood and the Ranger"

by: F. W. Fairholt (Artist) from: A Lytell Geste of Robin Hode with Other Ancient & Modern Ballads and Songs Relating to this Celebrated Yeoman (P. 272) -  1847
Additional Information:
The ballad "Robin Hood and Queen Katherine" references Finsbury Field.  Gutch has added a note on page 175 which claims that the Field is a "[g]round near Moorfields, London, famous in old times for the archery practised there," and lists historical references to the location.
