The project has developed a suite of tools to analyse and gain new perspectives on the correspondence data of both the Stuart State Papers and Early Modern Letters Online. A number of these are available as web applications, built using the R library Shiny.

# Visual Filter  

[Visually facet the State Papers data, by people, place, keyword, and network.]()

# Williamson's News Network

Browse newsletters sent to Joseph Williamson's office, by places mentioned (extracted using Named Entity Recognition).  

# Stuart State Papers Ngram Browser  

Display charts of words and phrases over time from the abstracts of the Stuart State Papers.

# Network Robustness Tool

This tool was developed alongside the paper ['The Measure of the Archive: The Robustness of Network Analysis in Early Modern Correspondence'](https://culturalanalytics.org/article/25943-the-measure-of-the-archive-the-ro-bustness-of-network-analysis-in-early-modern-correspondence). Upload a network graph (in the form of an edge list), and calculate its robustness. The online version is limited to a network with 1,000 edges, but the source code can be downloaded to run the code locally with no limits.
