News Update: Digitisation of the Gazetteer

Exciting news from Scott Vanderbilt - he has completed a digitisation project that includes data from the Gazetteer, creating a map of Roman Britain. Scott is on Twitter @Sarcanon.

Gazetteer 2 Project - Join In

This Gazetteer was only ever meant to be a 'handbook' that I compiled to help me write my PhD thesis back in the dark ages of card index boxes and daisy wheel printers. The Gazetteer very much needs updating (and always has done), ideally with the results being an online resource.

In 2015, I spent a couple of weeks playing with Warwickshire's online Historical Environment Record ('HER' - what used to be called a Sites and Monuments Record or 'SMR'), working through the most recent county records to produce a second edition of the Warwickshire chapter of the Gazetteer. The difference between this and the first edition is startling.

If you can help update a county, whether as a student project or as a private study, please contact me. This will be a really valuable collective endeavor.

Every county is up for grabs. These kinds of projects, if they are accompanied by a good quality discussion, make for really worthwhile and manageable student dissertations and research projects.
