Very excited to announce this, nearly ten years after I first conceived of this project. I've picked up a job and even tenure along the way. The brief hiatus in question was occasioned by a very cute and very time-consuming baby boy 👶 #earlymodern #digitalhumanities 🗃️
Early Modern Digital Itineraries (EMDigIt)After a hiatus, EMDigIt is back with BIG news! 📯 The Core Italian Itinerary dataset is now publicly available as feature layers published on ArcGIS Online. More than 3,700 georeferenced way-points and 6,000 route segments taken from 8 Italian-language itineraries published from 1562-1720.

Whilst writing about trav(ailing) #earlymodern bodies all summer, I forgot to advertise that my latest article is out in the world. It’s about English travellers’ ahum stomach problems in the Levant (on brand, I knew, I think Kirsty Rolfe once called this draft ‘flux capacitor’…).
excellent contribution of @hsmurphy.bsky.social includes career of Barbadian Thomas Rous (86) prodding aging brain to wonder (but no confirmation yet) about relation to Francis Rous and, thus, Warwick group/Providence Island Co @davidveevers.bsky.social @kerrylouisehistory.bsky.social
