Corpus or database

The Connected Corpus is a living collection of annotated digital texts. The annotations describe philosophical connections between different texts and authors, and they connect you to those texts in translation and the original language. The goal of The Connected Corpus is to deepen your philosophical engagement with a focal text by identifying similar ideas in other texts; criticisms or new perspectives; alternative arguments or counter-arguments; or shared philosophical terminology. The connections may or may not indicate historical transmission of ideas.

The American Medical Directories (AMDs) were periodically published by the American Medical Association from 1906 and present an immense opportunity to illuminate the organizational dynamics of professional medicine in the early 20th century. In addition to physicians’ names and practice locations, these volumes also contain valuable information about individuals’ training histories and medical specializations, demographic characteristics, and membership in state and local societies.
