This past week I was involved in several conversations about this need at two other conferences, “The Revolution Reborn” at the McNeil Center in Philadelphia, and then PhillyDH@Penn. The more specific topic was along the lines of finding ways for historians to share data, or collaborate on compiling data, especially for network-style analysis. I’d love to see this issue (opportunity) become part of the conversation.
