Transforming Our Understanding of the Past
Welcome to People, Religion, Information Networks, and Travel – Migration in the Early Modern World (PRINT). We are a collaborative digital humanities project discovering cultural, religious, and familial connections of early modern European religious minorities. Utilizing roughly 3,000 letters from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, PRINT is tracing communication networks and showing how they influenced dynamic patterns of migration in the Atlantic world.
PRINT Portal
The project is actively working to create the PRINT portal to make accessible a digital collection of manuscript correspondence located in five different repositories across four countries and in multiple languages. This groundbreaking portal transforms traditional archival cataloging practices through the creation of digital tools to foster new textual and network analysis.
Collaboration and Support
PRINT is led by a diverse team of scholars and researchers at the University of Central Florida. We are engaging students, citizen scholars, community members, and institutional partners with this interdisciplinary research. Additionally, PRINT is funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) through a Major Collaborative Archival Initiatives grant.
