Great to see that SSNE has joined us on Twitter. An incredibly useful and venerable project and super easy to fall deep down the rabbit hole within. #HistoricalDatabases #DigitalHistory #SSNE #ScottishHistory #Twitterstorians
The SSNE is a free database containing over 8,000 biographies of British and Irish migrants to Northern Europe in the early modern period, created by Professor Steve Murdoch (@Prof_Murdoch) and Dr Alexia Grosjean (@LinguaLexy) and hosted by @univofstandrews
This is the way to do it, with discrete & modular data points that offer optimal flexibility & manipulability. It’s good news for archives & libraries, too, as it points DB users right to the documents/collections in question.

To our friends in archives & libraries: @wikidata can cope with complex manuscript references with extraordinary precision. We record each part of the reference separately (collection, accession no. & foliation). We can then combine these elements to create a full reference
