The Map of Early Modern London (MoEML) comprises four distinct, interoperable projects. MoEML began in 1999 as a digital atlas of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century London based on the 1560s Agas woodcut map of the city. MoEML now includes an encyclopedia of early modern London people and places, a library of mayoral shows and other texts rich in London toponyms, and a forthcoming versioned edition of John Stow’s A Survey of London. The project consists of TEI-encoded files in Subversion repository, processed daily by a Jenkins continuous integration server into a static alpha site. We periodically release one of these static sites under a version number (currently v.6.6) to our public-facing URL (https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca). The location files use GIS tags to pin data to locations on the historical Agas map, which is delivered using a system based on OpenLayers 3.
