Missing places
Editorial history
23/12/11, CSG: Created page
The authors of this wiki need help with primary research and synthesis for a wide range of buildings, places, and areas. The focus should be on the period 1650-1659, and on working from contemporary primary sources, rather than from modern secondary sources.
Contributions are particularly welcome from Dutch, Italian, Spanish, and Swedish speakers, using primary sources authored in a range of languages.
Topics to explore include:
- Ports and towns in continental Europe (excluding the European territories of the Ottoman Empire)
- Ports and towns in the former Ottoman Empire
- Ports and towns on the west coast of India
- Ports and towns around the Arabian Gulf
- Islands, ports and towns of Barbados and Jamaica
- Plantations and ports of Virginia and New England
- English private and public buildings
- English rural and urban local areas
Ideally, the end product would ideally be a profile of the specified place, integrating an understanding of place and geographical interconnections, with the core individuals around which this wiki has been built - Sir George Oxenden, the subscribers in the mid-1650s to the Smirna Venture Joint Stock and the King Fernandez Joint Stock, and his correspondents in the 1660s, when he was President in Surat.
Suggestions for novel primary sources relevant to the period 1650-1669 are also much appreciated.
