I'm so delighted to share this news! As always this would be impossible without @kgeographer (and now @docuracy as well), along with Ali Straub, Jesse Obert and everyone at @WHCPitt . Please publish your historical place data with us!

Way too entertained by my '90s Geocities aesthetic slides. Turns out the talks in today's workshop are public, if you fancy watching me give a zoom talk at 10:30am on a Saturday. https://t.co/mZYTFc0Mio
