Current Work

We are currently funded by a SSHRC Insight Grant (2018-2023). Our proposal summary and expected outcomes are available here. Ongoing projects include:
  • Drawing and checking features on the interactive Agas map.
  • An edition of John Stow’s A Survey of London. We are planning a versioned edition of the complete 1598, 1603, 1618, and 1633 texts. Each successively longer text comments on changes to each location since the previous edition. Together, the four texts give us astonishingly rich detail about the tranformation of London over the period of its most rapid growth. As our progress chart attests, our edition of the 1598 text is nearly ready to be published. We’ll move on to 1633 next, then 1618, and finally 1603. The edition will include versioning tools and open-access digital surrogates of the editions of the Survey. The 1633 Survey was donated to the UVic Library by Janelle Jenstad, and 1603 and 1618 are made available courtesy of Gordon Fulton. We are looking for a 1598 Survey to photograph so we can make digital images of it available.
  • The world’s first complete collection of all the Elizabethan and Jacobean mayoral pageant books. The first batch of published texts is available in our Library. The other pageant books are in draft. We expect to release all the in-type facsimile transcriptions with the MoEML 6.4 release at the end of May 2019.
  • Our pedagogical partnership, linking MoEML with classrooms around the world.
We are actively seeking contributions to complete stubs and empty locations pages in our Encyclopedia.

Next Steps

In Fall 2019, we will begin working on a chrono-Agas map, a version of our Agas map with temporal tools in-built.
We are also very pleased to be implementing a framework for MoEML micro-sites, projects built within MoEML’infrastructure and hosted on MoEML. We are delighted to be working with Dr. Mary Erica Zimmer on the first such project, Browsing the Bookstalls of Saint Paul’s Churchyard.
