This site contains instructions and other materials for a linked data digital project developed for two Fordham University courses on Medieval London. The assignment required students to structure information found in medieval London property records into a spreadsheet for entry into the Medieval Londoners Database (MLD), an online searchable database of people who lived in London from c. 1190 to to c. 1520. Students then summarized the data into a record they created for each property in a mapping platform called Layers of London. Mapping the property usually required some topographical research, for which resources were supplied. Students concluded the assignment by lnking the individuals in the Layers deeds to their records in the Medieval Londoners database. The undergraduates’ records in Layers of London are at
Medieval Londoners and the records of the graduate students (whose assignment was slightly different) are at
Medieval Londoners Grads.
