Networking Letters of the Revolution (1689-91)
Networking the Letters of Revolution is a 2024 DH@MSU seed grant-funded project. Inspired by more recent developments in network science and early modern studies, Networking is an open-access digital repository of code and data specifically related to relationships and networks of people in Scotland during the Revolution. The project’s main data comes from the Leven and Melville Papers, which are a printed collection of recorded discussions and decisions made by individuals, civil servants, and officials in the nascent Williamite regime during the Revolution and early 1690s. Networking Letters of the Revolution traces the relationships and connects historical networks with visual interpretation by building a new database and visual representation of the interconnected nature of communication, aiming to better understand the early modern world.
