Data & code

Databases, research logbooks, and open teaching resources.

  • Yokohama Specie Bank database, 1881–1945. A comprehensive and annotated database of YSB midterm reports: several hundred thousand observations on deposits, note issue, inter-branch flow of funds, bills, and loans. Figshare project
  • Research logbooks (even-keel). Database architecture, inclusion/exclusion decisions, software choices, tests, and source assessments for the exchange-banking book project. GitHub
  • HistorEE codebooks. The data-and-documentation backbone of the HistorEE project, and the team-grade successor to even-keel: versioned, attributed datasets with machine-readable schemas, generated codebooks, controlled vocabularies, and a narrative decision log, so that every datum is traceable to a source and every coding decision to a person and a date. Code MIT, data CC BY 4.0. GitHub · Zenodo · Figshare
  • Working vault (Foam). The idea-side companion to HistorEE and the book Clearing and Settling the Realm: a git-versioned Foam vault of atomic, cross-linked Markdown notes holding the arguments, distinctions, and objections from which chapters and grant prose are assembled, with maps of content, a controlled tag vocabulary, and an interactive knowledge graph. Where the codebooks hold the evidence, the vault holds the claims. Notes CC BY 4.0, code MIT. GitHub · Zenodo
  • Capital Markets of the World. A “smart catalog” for the Crédit Lyonnais collection of historical stock exchange price lists, 1850–2000, held at the Graduate Institute, Geneva. GitHub · Report
