Last week, I encoded and posted Paul Hartlen's page on Tower Street. Paul (and my research assistant, Camille van der Marel) have proofread the page, checked quotations and bibliographical information, and verified links.

Today, I've encoded and posted a draft of Paisley Mann's page on Love Lane, Thames Street. I await feedback from proofreaders.

Things to do:

Add the church of St. Mary-at-Hill to the map and the index of churches. Tag the references to it in the Love Lane, Thames Street essay.

Reference to St. Christopher in Ekwall quotation in Love Lane, Thames Street essay not clear. Follow up.

Note spelling of St. Mary-at-Hill (the street). Correct mispelling on street index.

Correct Tower Street page and post final version. -- DONE!

On Sept. 11, I posted the Guidelines for Contributors page (under the "About" tab). Two documents for potential contributors are linked to this page: "Contributor Guidelines: Street or Site Essays" and "Map of Early Modern London Citation Guide." Both documents are available as MS-Word 97-2003 files and as .pdf files. The link on the "blank" street/site pages now takes one to the Guidelines for Contributors page.

Other recent postings: Abchurch Lane (street page) and "The Marriage of London Stone and the Boss of Billingsgate" (Library text).

Started a blog for the Map of London project, and added JJ and MC as bloggers to this blog.
Numerous previous postings for work done on this project can be found in the depts blog, they will typically be prepended with "MapOfLondon"
