This short video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTgNLI-3lJA) explains our research converging 3 x #c19 historical datasets for 'Beyond the Tracks'; available for Open and Early Access with UoL Press on their Manifold book platform: https://read.uolpress.co.uk/read/beyond-the-tracks/section/38e50234-ecbc-46c4-b390-c2f23e77c2ce . In the chapter we explore the spatial patterning related to railway infrastructure in 19th century Britain using a mix of computational methods, with @LivingWithMachines@zirk.us colleagues, Josh Rhodes, Jon Lawrence, Kaspar Beelen and @kmcdono@mastodonapp.uk #dh #history

We still have spaces available so please apply if you're interested in learning to use new tools for working with large collections of historical newspapers and maps. In London on 30 Sep-2 Oct (plus online option), with demonstration from the Turing's fantastic Data/Culture and Living with Machines project teams. And also me. 😎
