Richard Blakemore Academic.edu profile
INTERESTS:
"My thesis is a study of London seafarers, maritime tradesmen, and their families during the civil wars, exploring how, and to what extent, their actions in and experiences of the 1640s were shaped by a shared occupational identity, and what impact the civil wars had upon them as a community. My research interests include the role of seafarers in various maritime 'worlds' (Atlantic, Mediterranean, North Sea, Indian); the social aspects of the maritime community; the relationship between seafarers, the navy, and state-formation; and the social and cultural aspects of early modern navigation. I also have wider interests both in maritime and early modern history generally.
Between M.Phil. and Ph.D. research, I held a summer internship at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, working on navigational instruments as cultural artefacts. Before moving to Cambridge for postgraduate study, I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Aberystwyth."

RESEARCH
"Writing up my second monograph entitled 'Merely for Money'? Business Culture in the British Atlantic, due for pubication with Liverpool University Press in 2012.
This is the culmination of a long term project which began with an ESRC award for 2004-5 entitled Business Culture and Community: Liverpool in the 18th Century British Atlantic. This is an inter-disciplinary study into business culture during this period, but taking a wide, Atlantic perspective. Using a variety of primary sources, it adopts social-science theory to investigate the concepts of risk, trust, reputation, obligation and networks within the eighteenth-century trading community. I was Caird North American Research Fellow 2006, granted by the National Maritime Museum (UK) and the John Carter Brown Library (Rhode Island, USA) which contributed to this study."
"First monograph was entitled The British-Atlantic Trading Community 1760-1810: Men, Women, and the Distribution of Goods (Brill Press, 2006). This study investigated and profiled a far wider trading community than elite (male) merchants, and detailed the networks of people, credit and goods both within each city, regionally and across the Atlantic, between the two cities"
"Previously worked with Professor Kenneth Morgan (Brunel) and Professor Trevor Burnard (Warwick) on a Leverhulme funded research project entitled "Merchants and Merchandising: Kingston, Jamaica in the Eighteenth Century". This research investigated both the social and economic history of Kingston itself, and its business and social networks within the Atlantic framework."
"Liverpool University recently conducted research on the nineteenth-century Liverpool mercantile community which will result in a major web accessible database. See www.liv.ac.uk/merchants"
"Presently working with the school of Computing, Science and Engineering at the University of Salford, using Visual Analytic tools for the analysis of business networks. We have already published on this work. See my publications below"

"Richard Price did a Ph.D at Oxford in philosophy. Alongside his PhD, he founded a few startups, including a Craigslist for Oxford (Liveout.co.uk) and a Facebook app that was the largest on the platform for several months (PeopleRadar). After finishing his PhD, he founded Academia.edu, which is a platform for academics around the world to connect and share research. He spotted the need for the platform when doing his PhD.
He raised venture capital, and launched the site in September 2008. Currently the site has 1.2 million monthly visitors and about 4.9 million monthly page views. About 1,000 academics sign up every day. Academia.edu’s goal is for every academic in the world to be using the site to share and follow research."[1]

- C18th century historian
- Steering Committee, 18thConnect (project which aggregates 18th century digital resources; a partnership between Miami University, Ohio, and the University of Virginia)
- 18thConnect will soon offer access here to Voyeur: Reveal Your Texts, a window that allows using TaPOR tools to analyze these texts.
Selected publications:
- Arising out the London Lives project, Shoemaker is writing a book, co-authored with Hitchcock, entitled Poor Man, Sick Man, Beggarman, Thief: Plebeian Lives and the Making of Modern London, 1690-1800. Planned as an e-book, this will examine the role played by plebeian Londoners, through their interactions with the agencies of poor relief and criminal justice, in the evolution modern social policy.
E-projects
Data Mining with Criminal Intent
- Using Zotero and TAPoR on the Old Bailey Proceedings
- Zotero, a popular environment for managing online scholarship has been created that allows humanists to collect, index and manipulate large amounts of text
- TAPoR Tools, a range of facilities for the quantitative analysis of text, has been piloted and tested.
Newgate Commons: The creation of Newgate Commons: a new form of interface for the Old Bailey Proceedings that supplements the current search interfaces. The Newgate Commons will allow scholars to use mining and clustering techniques to identify, collect and work with, sets of relevant trials and related texts, and to extract them for further study with other tools. The interface will also make it easy for users to train machine learning ‘agents’ to help identify patterns in the text (and underlying account of prosecutions and punishments) of interest to the researcher.
Zotero Virtual Collections: The modification of Zotero Virtual Collections,the Zotero bibliographic reference management tool, so it can be used to manage the collections of documents created within the Newgate Commons and call upon full texts only when needed.
Voyeur Analytics: Voyeur Analytics. the project will connect Zotero to analytical tools designed by the TAPoR project to work on large collections, including the Voyeur toolset for analysis and visualization. The emphasis throughout will be on extending existing tools as needed to allow researchers to navigate between them seamlessly and to use Zotero as a hub from which to manage large study collections. In the process we will create the potential to analyze and visualize change over time in a way that goes beyond current historical methodologies, illuminating the relationship between text and event in new ways.
