- C18th century historian
- Steering Committee, 18thConnect (project which aggregates 18th century digital resources; a partnership between Miami University, Ohio, and the University of Virginia)

    • 18thConnect will soon offer access here to Voyeur: Reveal Your Texts, a window that allows using TaPOR tools to analyze these texts.


Selected publications:

- Arising out the London Lives project, Shoemaker is writing a book, co-authored with Hitchcock, entitled Poor Man, Sick Man, Beggarman, Thief: Plebeian Lives and the Making of Modern London, 1690-1800. Planned as an e-book, this will examine the role played by plebeian Londoners, through their interactions with the agencies of poor relief and criminal justice, in the evolution modern social policy.

E-projects

Data Mining with Criminal Intent
- Using Zotero and TAPoR on the Old Bailey Proceedings

    • Zotero, a popular environment for managing online scholarship has been created that allows humanists to collect, index and manipulate large amounts of text
    • TAPoR Tools, a range of facilities for the quantitative analysis of text, has been piloted and tested.


Newgate Commons: The creation of Newgate Commons: a new form of interface for the Old Bailey Proceedings that supplements the current search interfaces. The Newgate Commons will allow scholars to use mining and clustering techniques to identify, collect and work with, sets of relevant trials and related texts, and to extract them for further study with other tools. The interface will also make it easy for users to train machine learning ‘agents’ to help identify patterns in the text (and underlying account of prosecutions and punishments) of interest to the researcher.

Zotero Virtual Collections: The modification of Zotero Virtual Collections,the Zotero bibliographic reference management tool, so it can be used to manage the collections of documents created within the Newgate Commons and call upon full texts only when needed.

Voyeur Analytics: Voyeur Analytics. the project will connect Zotero to analytical tools designed by the TAPoR project to work on large collections, including the Voyeur toolset for analysis and visualization. The emphasis throughout will be on extending existing tools as needed to allow researchers to navigate between them seamlessly and to use Zotero as a hub from which to manage large study collections. In the process we will create the potential to analyze and visualize change over time in a way that goes beyond current historical methodologies, illuminating the relationship between text and event in new ways.
