I’m Mark Hailwood, an early modern historian at the University of Bristol. I use court depositions from 16th and 17th century England to examine various apsects of everyday rural life. I primarily work with county level quarter sessions records, and diocesan church court records, both of which contain huge numbers of depositions, but very little of this has been digitised or transcribed. I’m interested in seeing how Leo can handle these records, and especially some of those with more difficult layouts, or of poorer quality. My work, like a lot of historians, is needle-in-a-haystack stuff. But if keyword searchable transcriptions of depositions could be produced quickly and at scale it would be transformative.
