v.6.6 is the fourth release of a static version of our site.
A signficant advantage of the static-release model is that we can now archive past MoEML releases for posterity. Just as old editions of books often remain in library collections, we are choosing to retain past editions of the MoEML project. You will find all previous releases at https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca/editions/.

In response to a requirement that all campus units and projects have an equity statement, we decided to codify our attitudes, values, and aspirations as a project. Research Associate
v.6.6 introduces some changes to the menu bar. The previous top menu consisted of six (6) tabs (Map, Encyclopedia, Library, Stow, Tools, and About). v.6.6 introduces a sixth tab—Shows—which we will explain more fully below.
We have also added three new sections under About: Documentation, Ethos, and Statistics.
Documentation contains links to all of our project documentation, grouped by intended audience: contributors, encoders, programmers, editors, and release technicians.
Ethos links to our Project Ethos (see above).

The SSHRC-funded anthology of modern editions all of the Elizabethan and Stuart mayoral shows will be published by MoEML on the LEMDO platform. Expect MoMS (MoEML Mayoral Shows anthology) to be released in the next six months with at least one completed modern edition. The old-spelling transcriptions will remain on the MoEML site and eventually be duplicated and slightly retagged for republication in the MoMS anthology.
We have augmented the contextual information for mayoral shows on the MoEML site. The Shows menu contains:

Since the previous release, we have updated the encoding of the primary source texts housed in our Library (see the Library: Progress Chart for a detailed breakdown of our workflow). For each text, we have (1) tagged all entities (people, toponyms, dates), (2) re-proofed the transcription, (3) standardized the in-line CSS to better reflect the layout of the early printed page, (4) added a full source description with information about the copytext (housed in the
During this process we updated our documentation on semi-diplomatic transcriptions (Conventions for Semi-Diplomatic Transcriptions) and composed new documentation to help guide research assistants as they transcribe, tag, and style library texts (Encode a Library Text).

Until this release, MoEML has had a fuzzy starting date. Articles often mention medieval uses of space because early modern Londoners retained a memory of those uses, places, and placenames. In conversation with

Previous versions of MoEML have depended on Google Maps to provide modern maps displaying locations from early modern London. However, the Google Maps API is known to be fluid, and we wanted to aim for more long-term stability for our maps. The Agas Map has always used code from the OpenLayers project, so we rebuilt our modern mapping to use GeoJSON data rather than Google’s KML file format, and we now use OpenLayers and OpenStreetMaps data for our modern maps.
Consequently, we also rewrote our own mapping tools and their documentation.
We have created a new page, Praxis Updates, to track all substantial changes made by our team to our Praxis documentation. Since the v.6.5 release, we have added extensive quickstart documentation to support new hires and encoders (Quickstart: Getting Started, Quickstart: Introduction to Markup, Quickstart: Tagging
