title = {Network Analysis for Book Historians: Digital Labour and Data Visualization Techniques},
year = {2025},
note = {Researchers and archivists have spent decades digitizing and
cataloguing, but what does the future hold for book history? This book
explores the potential of network analysis as a method for medieval
and early modern book history. Presented through case studies of the
Cotton Library, the Digital Index of Middle English Verse, and the
Pforzheimer Collection, this book offers a blueprint for drawing on
extant scholarly resources to visualize relationships between people,
text, and books. Such visualizations serve as a new form of reference
work with the potential to offer new, broad insights into the history
of book collecting, compilation, and use. This volume gives a
realistic look at the decision-making involved in digital humanities
work, and emphasizes the value of so-called "mechanical" labour in
scholarship.},
