The #HarrissListDigitalArchive project has reached the halfway point 🎉
9 of the 18 surviving editions of Harris’s List of #CoventGardenLadies are now available for data exploration, enabling research through tabular analysis, mapping, and network visualisation.
Excited to see how scholars and the public engage with this remarkable eighteenth-century source as the archive continues to grow. More editions, data, and discoveries coming soon.
