proofing of data files

Posted by on 10 Oct 2013 in Activity Log

SD has begun a thorough proofing of all the data files. I've created a v2 folder in the data folder to hold the revised data files from him. Once I have them all, I'll then have to clean out the relevant tables in the database and repopulate them, using the already established procedure. So far we've done a couple of decades and I've had to modify the petty-treason crime and add a couple of judges.

Capital Trials at the Old Bailey

Simon Devereaux has approximately 10,000 records of people convicted in potentially capital cases between 1710 and 1840 in London heard at the Old Bailey court. This project will create a web-based database which will allow interested researchers and members of the public to compose queries on that data (e.g. women charged with robbery 1710-1720). It must be able to support a range of queries and produce output allowing researchers to identify trends in judicial practice over that time.
