The Edinburgh MESH project has made great use of #digitised street directories in association with mapping addresses on #OpenStreetMap

There's a good digitised collection of such directories for the UK at the University of Leicester archives (although MESH had higher standards). Pitt has a decent collection to 1945 for Pittsburgh. However, more fun for post-war period to ask people: there's amazing recall for old shops.

#Metadata can be an overwhelming subject. Read about how the CUL #DigitalPreservation team is working with the Cultural Heritage Imaging Laboratory based at Cambridge University Library to manage and preserve metadata relating to #digitised collection items.

#AnneOfGloucester grew up with the library of #Pleshey Castle, commissioned & collected by the #bibliophile #Bohun family, & catalogued in 1397 when her father was arrested. #WomensHistory prompts reflection on household culture, role models, generational influence - & how both we & kings may struggle with inner demons.

🎨 made for Anne's mother, #EleanorDeBohun. 🧵 13/
