FactGrid has an open web channel for such purposes that can be used without further passwords and software downloads. Contact olaf.simons@pierre-marteau.com for link details.

  • Tuesday Dec. 7 2021: OpenRefine tutoral with Lucas Werkmeister. Feeding spreadsheet information into FactGrid is one of the standard challenges you might have encountered - a challenge since any such data must be "cleaned" and "reconciled" first. The tool to facilitate this work is OpenRefine. Lucas Werkmeister has prepared FactGrid for the interaction with OpenRefine and he will give an online tutorial on this this Tuesday 21:30 European Time. The session will also be recorded (recording). See Help:How do I use OpenRefine on FactGrid? if you want to download and use OpenRefine on your computer.
  • Deadline: 15 December 2021: 2 PhD positions in early modern history, 18th and 19th centuries (Université de Fribourg, Switzerland) connected to the use of FactGrid as data repository: 1 PhD thesis: Mesmerism in western Switzerland: sociability, mobility, constellations and 1 PhD thesis: An information flow: Mesmerism in Switzerland. See our blog for more information.

  • 11 June 2021 — A new section started in the Project space. The topic will be Early Modern religious dissent. We should become able to explore how these movements fused (if the did) into the word of Masonic organisations, student fraternities and esoteric cures as sold by the Mesmerists, which we have been mapping so far. This is the FactGrid:Lionel Laborie, The "French Prophets" project page with first searches on the 667 adherents of the early 18th-century group. All links will, as always, be welcome. --Olaf Simons ([[User
