Introduction

This map is based on the correspondence metadata available in the Murray Scriptorium, displaying author and addressee locations when known or ascertainable. The map, which is sourced from OpenStreetMap, represents where these locations are in the present day, making them identifiable by modern coordinates and postcodes and enabling a much higher level of detail to be viewed.

Blue circles represent author locations at sending, red circles indicate addressee locations: the size of the circle signifies the number of letters sent from or addressed to that location.

Clicking on a circle will provide further details about the correspondents and search options. Use the date sliders below to adjust the window of reference, or choose a correspondent to zero in on a particular exchange.
