Hello!

We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, February 9th at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET (Time zone converter). We will be hearing from historians Mikki Brock (W&L University) and Chris Langley (Newman University), Project Directors for Mapping the Scottish Reformation. Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Strathmartine Trust, the project uses Wikidata as a store for information about Scottish clergy gleaned from manuscripts dating from 1560 to 1698; Wikidata exports are then used to populate interactive maps that allow the end user to access data about the Scottish clergy in an efficient, accurate, and comprehensive manner.
