Abstract

This article introduces the scope, content, and capabilities of a new born-digital archive. The Medieval Londoners Database (MLD) uses an online platform to collect from and connect to both documents (printed and archival) and digitized resources (such as British History Online and the History of Parliament Online). As a digital prosopography, MLD is a freely available resource that offers sophisticated search options to discover more about the lives of both the civic elite and ordinary individuals who resided in the city of London or its suburbs of Southwark and Westminster between ca. 1100 and 1520. MLD exemplifies how digitization and the semantic web enhance historical research by creating super-powered archival collections that are ever-expanding, accessible via multiple entry points, and able to facilitate highly analytical research.
一个英国档案:中世纪伦敦人数据库
本文介绍了一种新生的数字档案的范围、内容和功能。中世纪伦敦人数据库(MLD)使用一个在线平台来收集和连接文件(印刷和档案)和数字化资源(如英国历史在线和议会历史在线)。作为一种数字人谱,MLD是一种免费的资源,它提供了复杂的搜索选项,可以发现更多关于1100年至1520年间居住在伦敦市或其南华克和威斯敏斯特郊区的公民精英和普通个人的生活。MLD举例说明了数字化和语义网如何通过创建不断扩展的、可通过多个入口点访问的超级强大的档案集合来增强历史研究,并能够促进高度分析研究。

期刊介绍: The official publication of the North American Conference on British Studies (NACBS), the Journal of British Studies, has positioned itself as the critical resource for scholars of British culture from the Middle Ages through the present. Drawing on both established and emerging approaches, JBS presents scholarly articles and books reviews from renowned international authors who share their ideas on British society, politics, law, economics, and the arts. In 2005 (Vol. 44), the journal merged with the NACBS publication Albion, creating one journal for NACBS membership. The NACBS also sponsors an annual conference , as well as several academic prizes, graduate fellowships, and undergraduate essay contests .
