    Submitted earlier, a revised draft of a chapter for a forthcoming handbook, with the title: &amp;quot;Reading the edited collection, distantly: some trends in British theological publishing in the twentieth century&amp;quot; I make the case for viewing large sets of edited collections as a means of understanding disciplinary change over time, and as containers of networks of scholars. Happy to share it privately if folks are interested.

    Digital historians: you have until May 30th to submit entries for the 2025 Deswarte Prize. So pleased that this prize continues into its fourth year, in memory of a much missed colleague and friend. Reposts very welcome. https://ihrdighist.blogs.sas.ac.uk/2021/12/the-richard-deswarte-prize-in-digital-history/

    It&amp;#39;s been a long time in the making, but I&amp;#39;m delighted to be able to mention the soft launch (in beta) of the new Library Data Lab at Southampton, giving dataset and API access to our digitised collections of print, MSS, image and media. My colleague Matt (not on here) introduces the service in this presentation: https://southampton.cloud.panopto.eu/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=69caa4b1-2875-4fab-b07b-b3f000dc787b The service itself is at https://datalab.library.soton.ac.uk/...
