from 900 to 1425 xml:ids: A Mitfordian milestone
The Digital Mitford team coordinated a massive effort last fall to complete a burst of coding, in particular to finish up transcriptions of assigned letters and to research and develop new prosopography entries–that is, entries on our lists of Named Entities: people (and fictional characters), organizations, places (and fictional places), books, serial publications, works of […]
Students on the Digital Mitford

We need a Coding Refresher Hangout, so project-team members, please check your e-mail […]
Copyright and Copyleft…and 800 letters in Reading?!
I knew there was a very big cache of Mitford letters I hadn’t yet looked at in Mitford’s home town of Reading, but as I worked tonight on the project of systematically identifying all the archives holding Mitford’s letters, I realized that the University of Reading is indeed in possession of 800 Mitford letters to […]
