Anne Lister's people
This is an open project collecting names of people (and animals!) referred by Anne Lister in her journals and letters. The goal is to help contextualize her words as well as facilitate transcription work and subsequent research.
The list started from sourcing the excellent WYAS Glossary of Names compilation published on December 2019, which collected information sourced from as early as 2003 and has been expanded as new individuals are surfaced in other Anne Lister research.
By creating an open project where anyone can view, add, edit we hope the list of names can become more comprehensive, detailed and up-to-date.
