One of the benefits of working on a digital edition is that we can share our data with scholars, teachers, and students.

We are happy to post the results of your research as an exhibit on this page.

Data can help shed light on these connections and provide a more complete picture of a person’s life and the context in which they lived. These types of data reveal information about a historical figure’s family, friends, colleagues, or adversaries, as well as the political, social, and cultural forces that influenced their lives. By analyzing data about such historical figures, we can gain a deeper understanding of their motivations, beliefs, and contributions to society.
