        Subject: Pelagios Network talk, The World Historical Gazetteer Version 3

Pelagios Network talk by Ruth Mostern, The World Historical Gazetteer
Version 3.

Please join us on
Tuesday Sept 17, 9am ET/2pm BST https://mytime.io/2pm/BST
To attend please sign up here https://forms.gle/bxwMsoypUigWKa6h9 by Sept
16 to receive the Zoom link.

Ruth Mostern is Professor of History and Director of the World History
Center at the University of Pittsburgh and Vice President of the World
History Association.

The World Historical Gazetteer, which has been in development for seven
years, is a platform for linking records about historical places, allowing
people to make spatial connections across time and language.  Version 3,
released in summer 2024, permits users to search its index of more than two
million places; and to upload, augment, annotate, link, and publish
information about places as individual datasets, multiple connected
datasets, and thematically linked collections of indexed places.  This talk
introduces the methodology and functionality of the WHG and explains how to
become a contributor.

Looking forward to seeing many of you there on 17th!

Best,

Anne, Elton and Gethin
Pelagios officers
