Abstract: The Map of Early Modern London is well known to many people on campus as a digital project of some longevity. On the eve of launching MoEML v. 5, Janelle reflects upon the similarities between John Stow’s A Survey of London and the ongoing work of revising digital projects. You’ll hear about our progress with encoding the mayoral shows, building a new platform for the Agas map, and versioning all four editions of Stow’s Survey.
