For this assignment, I have to admit, I was more than a little daunted by the amount of technology I would be working with. I’ve used Zotero and the ESTC before, albeit to a lesser extent than what this assignment called for, but trying to figure out OpenRefine (really just installing it) was not a pleasant task. But after I started actually working with my data, I found that the tutorial worked wonders, and sifting through the information was easier than I thought it would be.

The book I chose to work with, “Aristotle’s Masterpiece,” is a lovable source I had worked with for my history capstone project. I’ve actually looked at it’s records in the ESTC before, so I knew that there would be several cities to map, so here they are!
