See the pages on searching events and places for details.<\/li>\n<li>Search now includes an additional facet: source type. This allows us the\u00a0selection and comparison of records based on different types of sources, such as legal records and newspapers.<\/li>\n<li>Search no longer includes people; instead you can select a person from a list.\u00a0As we have only been able to enter information on a small fraction of the people that appear in our sources, searches for people produced misleading results. The selected individuals are those for which we have sources that provide\u00a0more details\u00a0of their lives.<\/li>\n<li>Maps now include a timeline showing when records on the map occurred.<\/li>\n<li>Featured maps can now include multiple sets of search results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have taken the opportunity of the move to new database\u00a0to update the information that appears on the site. The Home and About pages now explicitly identify the site as a research tool. A\u00a0list of our publications has been added, in which\u00a0you can find interpretations we have offered based on the site. There is also a FAQ that\u00a0addresses some of the common responses\u00a0to the site.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m pleased to announce the launch of Digital Harlem v2.
