The ETCL is thrilled to invite you to a conversation with Catriona Duncan about her work as a research assistant on the digital project The Map of Early Modern London (MoEML). In her talk, Duncan will discuss how MoEML marries the digital with the early modern, bringing to life the city that shaped so much of our modern anglo culture. The digitized Agas map gives a visual representation of the city, while Stow’s The Survey of London provides historical and political context for topographical features.
Please join us on Friday, Oct. 21st at 4:30 p.m. at the University Club to chat about digital mapping, the intersection between the digital humanities and book history studies in Duncan’s work, and more!
