Communal C17th Textiles, Garments & Dyestuffs glossary
We have formed a sub-group of MarineLives volunteers to work on our communal C17th textiles, garments & dyestuffs glossary - establishing policies, adding terms, researching new entries, and working with our active Twitter and wiki readership to solicit new sources and commentaries.
The glossary was established on December 24th, 2017. It is a primary source based web resource, and is being developed from early and mid-C17th English High Court of Admiralty documents, second half of the C17th Chancery Court documents relating to commercial disputes, second half of the C17th Prerogative Court of Canterbury merchants' inventories, and a London coastal portbook from the 1650s.
The terms are referenced to primary manuscript sources, typically linked to manuscript images and full text transcriptions. As of 15/01/2018, the glossary contains 950+ terms.
Using Twitter to solicit and receive contributions to the glossary
We are using the @Marinelivesorg Twitter account to solicit new commentary and edits on specific terms, which we are incorporating into the glossary. We will acknowledge all contributions, but reserve the right (with the agreement of contributors) to make small editorial changes. Recent tweets related to the glossary can be found at #C17textilesglossary
