Welcome to the new and improved version of
Our new design, MoEML v.5, highlights the four distinct
but wholly interoperable projects that make up MoEML:
the Map, the Encyclopedia, the Library, and our forthcoming edition of John
Stow’s
Each project now has its own drop-down menu and its own landing page, both of
which will help our users (you!) see at a glance what resources are available.
For example, the Encyclopedia
landing page directs you to Topics,
a Glossary, and our four
We’ve freshened up the look of the site with new fonts, new colours, and a new
banner, all built with accessibility issues in mind. The colours are chosen from
an early modern jewel palette; the red daisy fav
icon is inspired by the
enamel flowers in the Cheapside Hoard. I hope you agree that we’ve come a long way since
MoEML v.2, the HTML site that lived on the
University of Windsor intranet from 2000 to 2003.
But this redesign is more than just a new look. We’ve rethought our metadata. We’re giving credit for all the activities associated with building this project, in keeping with our commitment to the Collaborators’ Bill of Rights. We have added new material to the Library. We have big plans for the Agas map and for John Stow’s
For now, I’d like to take the opportunity to thank the amazing MoEML team, particularly the three people who have led the charge
in the redesign.
During the process, we’ve had two research teams come and go.
