| 11 December 2015 | Georeferencing the Early Modern London Book Trade: 3. What’s in an Imprint?
In my previous blog post, I proposed a model TEI-XML tree for encoding and geocoding
bibliographic datasets. In the conclusion of that piece, I suggested that, in order
to implement such a model, print historians must pool their resources and expertise
through collaborative data mining and sharing. O...

| 8 December 2015 | Georeferencing the Early Modern London Book Trade: 2. Filling the Space in Bibliographies
In my previous blog post, I discussed the need for geocoded bibliographic databases
in print culture studies and the enormous value of the spatial queries that such databases
would enable. What would such a database look like? How might programmers and encoders
design a database that dynamically links data points about material books and stationers
with spatial variables?...

| 4 December 2015 | Georeferencing the Early Modern London Book Trade: 1. Theory without Practice
The following blog post identifies a disjunction in how the geohumanities spatial
turn has influenced theoretical literature in print culture studies as compared to
practical, bibliographic datasets. First, I provide an overview of recent literature
in print culture studies and geography, noting an i...

| 25 November 2015 | Georeferencing the Early Modern London Book Trade: Introduction
In summer 2014, I took a directed studies course with Janelle Jenstad, focusing on
the use of historical GIS as a tool for analyzing the spatial distribution and interaction
of the early modern London book trade. The course combined curriculum from Ian Gregory’s
Geographical Information Systems i...

Conference Information
Paint over Print: Hand-Colored Books and Maps of the Early Modern Period took place
on 19 and 20 February, 2015, at the University of Pennsylvania. The conference brought
together scholars to consider different aspects of hand-colored books and printed
maps from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries: the materials and techniques
used; the aesthetics of hand coloring...

A Simple API for Disseminating
our TEI Encoding
Introduction
Although the TEI Guidelines are full of helpful examples, and other initiatives such
as TEI By Example have made great progress in providing more access to samples of
text-encoding to help beginners get started, there is no doubt that one of the biggest
obstacles to encoders at many levels is finding out how other scholars and projects
have chosen ...

| 24 July 2014 | Marking Up Stow’s Survey of London
When I first began working with John Stow’s Survey of London sometime in the
summer of 2012, I had no clue what I was getting into. I’m not sure I had even
heard of Stow before being assigned the task of performing TEI markup on his
text. Only a few short weeks later, though, I was so immer...

London, conceived by Project Director, Janelle Jenstad, and Programmer, Martin Holmes.

MoEML is thrilled to announce that our pilot Pedagogical Partnership Project (PPP)—an
innovative model for teachers, student researchers, and digital humanities projects—is
now up and running.
What is the PPP?

Do we want a blog? asked RA Zaqir Virani after taking on our social media responsibilities
in Summer 2013. Programmer Martin Holmes, always sensitive to the last updated ISO
date on any webpage, pointed out that we’d let our News page languish in the past.
We’d have to commit to posting regula...

Encoding as WYSIWYG Production
As a musician, encoding never seemed like it would be in my wheelhouse. I suppose
the nature of the beast gets obscured by the myth—if I pictured mark-up code, I did
not see the reality, but instead the lines of binary from Swordfish or The Matrix.
It...

| 18 November 2013 | Welcome to MoEML v.5!
Welcome to the new and improved version of The Map of Early
Modern London! What you see is the result of over a year of
dreaming, thinking, debating, planning, implementing, testing, and tweaking.
Even though we’re still working out some glitches, it’s time to point our URL at

| 11 September 2013 | Encoding an Underground Text in the Underground
As John Stow’s Survey
of London (in all its editions) is traditionally a text to reference, not to
work on exclusively, I’ve enjoyed encoding this early modern cult classic in a
basement computing lab—an underground text in the underground. The HCMC is not all
dark and gloomy, of course, but a
basement is a baseme...

Former Student Contributors
We’d also like to acknowledge students who contributed to MoEML’s intranet predecessor at the University of Windsor between 1999 and 2003. When we redeveloped MoEML for the Internet in 2006, we were not able to include all of the student projects that had been written for courses in Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama, and/or Writing Hypertext. Nonetheless, these students contributed materially to the conceptual development of the project.
