We are really proud of the spirit of collaboration that underpins this issue, and hope that it opens new conversations and future projects. If you can’t access the articles for any reason, let us know. HLQ is green open-access so we can share the accepted versions with you. 11/11

@Dirk_van_Miert’s afterword closes the special issue. He observes how the methods supplied and applied here show that we have moved beyond the perennial language of future potential to offer new insights, as well as identifying key issues that still need to be addressed. 10/11

Mark Hill, Ville Vaara and @mikko_tolonen’s essay outlines methodologies - using social network analysis and quantitative text analysis - for analyzing discourse within & across historical communities, with a case study on early modern Quakers within the London book trade. 9/11

@rcmidura @sebastianahnert and @ruthahnert’s essay models a new toolbox for analyzing the problem of how many letters in the State Papers were introduced to the archive through interception, with a combination of text analysis and network metrics: estimating at least 5%. 8/11

Ffion Jones, Philip Beeley, and @livesofgrass’s essay investigates the work of the Welsh natural historian Thomas Pennant. This essay seeks to gain a deeper understanding of how the epistolary medium fed into his scientific oeuvre and established his name on the Continent. 7/11

Was the Republic of Letters a small world, or a divided one? Howard Hotson, Miranda Lewis (@cofktweets) and @Sebastianahnert’s essay develops and tests a tool designed to adjudicate between such competing truisms by identifying and quantifying second-degree connections. 6/11

@CaitlinBurge95’‘s article uses Social Network Analysis to look at the machinations of the Tudor Court at a crucial snapshot in time: January to July 1540. Using epistolary networks, the article quantitatively examines Thomas Cromwell’s role as ‘gatekeeper’ to the King. 5/11

@evan_bourke’s article re-centres the importance of women within John Locke’s correspondence by examining co-citation networks. This shows the value of methods like network analysis for reclaiming what is missing from collections due to various forms of archival silencing. 4/11

Our introduction by @RuthAhnert, Philip Beeley, @livesofgrass and @evraamsdonk proposes network analysis as a methodological and intellectual framework through which we can navigate the historical archive; Available open access: https://t.co/kd0TDT1pYv. 3/11

An important output from the Networking Archives project, funded by the @AHRCpress. 2/11

We are proud to (belatedly) announce the publication of Network Analysis and the Early Modern Archive as a special issue of Huntington Library Quarterly (@TheHuntington @PennPress), edited by @RuthAhnert @evraamsdonk @livesofgrass and Philip Beeley. https://t.co/qDIRQRSFsU. 1/11
