I've put online a #c18th side project on Harris’s List of Covent Garden Ladies that brings together all digitized surviving editions in one place.
The site uses data extraction to enable mapping and network analysis, with the aim of exploring questions of urban history, genre and print culture, geography, and social worlds across editions.
Project here: https://harrisslist.prisms.digital/ — work in progress, comments very welcome!
