Does anyone have access to 'Notes on a Source for John Foxe's Account of the Marian Persecution in Kent and Sussex' Historical Research, Volume 67, 1994 ? For some reason I just can't get it!

📢 Once more for the people in the back: - Most [more than 95%] of archives have not been digitized. - Most of humanity's knowledge and memory is *not* reachable by LLMs. - Believing that AI can provid you with comprehensive, definitive, "intelligent" results is folly.

Join us online on 24 Sept to celebrate the 250th VCH Big Red Book! Founded in 1899, @vchlondon.bsky.social is writing the #history of every place in #England, with partners across the country. We'll also celebrate #LocalHistory, #communityhistory & #place based history more widely. All welcome!

This is a great model. Emily was kind enough to share it with our @vchlondon.bsky.social project and it has been so helpful. It allowed volunteers with no training to accurately transcribe Early Modern records. This would have been so much harder without her help

Just pushed the button on running the Egerton model for the last time before we make it public. We hit 1.1 million words in the training data and 126,000 in the verification set. This has been three years in the making, but it's a great model and really accurate. @transkribus.bsky.social
