York University
Post-Doc
I was a postdoctoral fellow working with Dr. Colin Coates, on a collaborative research project, Trading Consequences, funded from a Digging into Data grant. This project examines the economic and environmental consequences of commodity trading in the British world, with a particular focus on Canada, during the nineteenth century. The project team uses information extraction techniques to study large corpora of digitized documents from the nineteenth century. This innovative digital resource allows historians to discover novel patterns and to explore new hypotheses, both through structured query and through a variety of visualization tools. (Participating institutions: York University, University of Edinburgh and University of St Andrews.)
