'''Overview'''
  
−
There is a need to do research from primary sources on a number of English private and public buildings, and on specified English rural and urban local areas, together with a good number of ports and towns in continental Europe and the former Ottoman Empire; on the west coast of India and around the Arabian Gulf; and in Barbados and Jamaica.  The end product would be a profile of the specified place
+
The authors of this wiki need help with primary research and synthesis for a wide range of buildings, places, and areas.  The focus should be on the period 1650-1659, and on working from contemporary primary sources, rather than from modern secondary sources.
  
−
You could contribute to this work in two ways.
+
Contributions are particularly welcome from Arabic, Dutch, Italian, Gujarati, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish speakers, using seventeenth century primary sources authored in a range of languages.
  
−
Firstly, by suggesting novel primary sources relevant to an understanding of these places, in the early and mid seventeenth century, and particularly in the period 1650-1669.

Topics to explore include:

Secondly, by contributing a draft profile of the specified place, supported by reference to primary (and secondary) sources.

Missing places

Editorial history

23/12/11, CSG: Created page


Overview

The authors of this wiki need help with primary research and synthesis for a wide range of buildings, places, and areas. The focus should be on the period 1650-1659, and on working from contemporary primary sources, rather than from modern secondary sources.

Contributions are particularly welcome from Arabic, Dutch, Italian, Gujarati, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish speakers, using seventeenth century primary sources authored in a range of languages.

Topics to explore include:

- Ports and towns in continental Europe (excluding the European territories of the Ottoman Empire)
- Ports and towns in the former Ottoman Empire
- Ports and towns on the west coast of India
- Ports and towns around the Arabian Gulf
- Islands, ports and towns of Barbados and Jamaica
- Plantations and ports of Virginia and New England
- English private and public buildings
- English rural and urban local areas

Ideally, the end product would ideally be a profile of the specified place, integrating an understanding of place and its geographical interconnections with the core individuals around which this wiki has been built - Sir George Oxenden, the subscribers in the mid-1650s to the Smirna Venture Joint Stock and the King Fernandez Joint Stock, and Sir George Oxenden's correspondents in the 1660s, when he was President in Surat.

Suggestions for novel primary sources relevant to the period 1650-1669 are also much appreciated.



How you can help


You could contribute to our work in several ways.

For example, by contributing a draft profile of the specified place, supported by reference to primary (and secondary) sources.

For example, by suggesting novel primary sources relevant to an understanding of these places, in the early and mid seventeenth century, and particularly in the period 1650-1669.

Primary source suggestions and draft profiles can be submitted by modifying the existing wiki entries for places as indexed below.
