Deliverables, Year 1, Summer 2018

From May-August of Y1, we will complete the tagging and copyediting of the 1598 Survey of London; continue development of the MoEML Gazetteer by adding all the variant toponyms listed in Sugden, Ekwall, and Carlin and Belcher’s gazetteer for the British Historic Towns Atlas; publish a finding aid for extant mayoral shows in libraries; develop an edition structure for modern editions; and encode the modern edition of the 1629 mayoral show.

Gazetteer Team

  • Confirm tagging of all variant toponyms by (a) eliminating tagging errors, and (b) correcting any misidentification of toponyms.
  • Add all London toponyms in Sugden’s Topographical Dictionary, Ekwall’s Street-Names, and Carlin and Belcher’s gazetteer of 1520s London that are not already in the project’s Placeography.

Team Stow

  • Complete tagging, markup editing, and proofing of the 1598 Survey of London.

Team Shows

  • Check and encode Jenstad’s mayoral pageant book finding aid.
  • Design an edition structure for modern editions of mayoral pageant books.
  • Encode a prototype modern edition (the 1629 mayoral show, ed. Kaethler).

Everyone

  • Create new XML files for each new location.
  • Add geo-coordinates and @cert values for all locations that do not already have them.
  • Add Agas map points for all locations that do not already have them and are in the area of London represented by the Agas map.
