Introducing the First Digital Gazetteer of Early Modern London!

The MoEML Gazetteer
We are very proud to announce the launch of the MoEML Gazetteer of Early Modern London, conceived by Project Director, Janelle Jenstad, and Programmer, Martin Holmes. To the best of our knowledge, until now there has been no authority list for placenames in early modern London. After years of researching and tagging London toponyms (i.e., placenames) from a wide range of texts, we have in our database tens of thousands of instances of placenames. We’ve been able to repurpose that data to build an easy-to-use online gazetteer.
