Mapping Print, Charting Enlightenment is the latest phase in a long-running French book history project. One aim of this phase of the project is to integrate a range of new datasets with the original database, which contained the records of the Société Typographique de Neuchâtel.
This repository contains a series of R scripts and iPython notebooks that use a machine learning approach to join some of these new datasets with the original database.
The init.R file contains some functions that can be used to easily perform fuzzy string matching on structured data. The dedupe_helper_functions.py file creates a basic functional programming interface for the dedupe library.
