📢 This Thursday we're VERY EXCITED to publish Living with Machines, an #OpenAccess data-driven #history of the coming of the machine age in Britain in the long 19th century, arising from one of the largest interdisciplinary projects undertaken in the #humanities, funded by the AHRC.
Living with Machines book cover and review quote next to it with UOL Press branding: Living with Machines stands as one of the most ambitious collaborations yet undertaken between historians and computational researchers. Beyond the historical interpretations offered here, it leaves an enduring legacy of tools, datasets, workflows, and methodological reflections that will shape how future generations of historians are trained. Anyone interested in bringing historical scholarship into the age of AI—without abandoning the discipline’s commitment to critical interpretation and source criticism—will find this an indispensable resource. —Jo Guldi, Historian and Professor of Data and Decision Sciences, Emory University, USA

Following my “Top Ten surnames” post, this article begins my look at the ten representatives of Waters Upton’s ‘top’ surname who were listed on the parish’s Roll of Honour (commemorating those who had served in the Great War and survived). #OnePlaceStudies #OnePlaceInWartime #WW1 #FWW
Waters Upton Woolleys in World War One (Part 1)
My previous post, The Top Ten surnames of Waters Upton, revealed that Woolley was the ‘top’ surname in the parish across the censuses taken from 1841 to 1921. This was illustrated with a photo show…

Why was Ensign Alexander Grant from Finfal #Kildonan #Sutherland and his rather well-connected wife Margaret Gordon, #Griamachary also Kildonan,
living in #NorthWallsAndBrims #Orkney from mid-1820s to at least 1841?

Our #OnePlaceStudies blogging and social media prompt for November is #OnePlaceTechnology – an opportunity to post about technology of any or all kinds in your OPS Place, or about the tech you use to carry out (or share the findings of) your #OnePlaceStudy. More details on our Blogging Prompts page.

Eahc traction engine has a tall, black funnel rising from the front, with the front part of the body also black and the rest a maroon colour, while the inner surfaces of the wheels (which are smaller at the front and much larger at the back) are, along with the spokes, bright red. www.one-place-studies.org/blogging-prompts/ One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.

Definitely sounds like #OnePlaceStudies, if the local history research is accompanied by / interwoven with work on the family histories of the people of the places in question. What specific insights / info are you seeking?
