Very much looking forward to the Durkan Lecture tomorrow evening, delivered by (friend the project!) Dr John McCallum. The lecture is entitled 'Emotion in Religious Controversy in Jacobean Scotland'. Book your place here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/durkan-lectu…
Find out more about our early experiences of using @WikibaseCloud on our project blog: mappingthescottishreformation.org/uncategorized/…
Come & look at our laboratory! We're using @WikibaseCloud to test some new approaches to managing our data. Stay tuned as we add more of our data to this new tool. msrtest.wikibase.cloud
Refresh yourselves on how to use our demo website with none other than Dr Jamie Reid-Baxter! youtu.be/2x7TPBWXDPc?si…
Always check your data entry: out of over 2,000 entries, there's always one outlier! Spare a thought for William Home, a seventeenth-century minister based in the Scottish Borders. Somehow, we doubt his time at Ayton ended in 664AD. *ahem*
For those of you who couldn't attend our presentation at @NatRecordsScot, why not watch it on YouTube? Find out more on how technology can help us understand a critical period of Scotland's past. youtu.be/kKkFvyc0qFQ
The details of 1,919 clerical appointments between 1560 & 1750 collected so far. We're working hard to broaden our dataset!
Thank you to colleagues at @NatRecordsScot for hosting us this evening & allowing us to talk about our project. If you weren’t able to make it, keep your eyes on the NRS YouTube channel in the coming days for a recording of the talk. youtube.com/channel/UCl53L…
@MikkiBrock @Chris_R_Langley @MappingScotsRef fantastic presentation about the database of Mapping the Scottish Reformation 👏👏👏
