Future Mapping Projects
The George Eliot Archive will continue to add more maps. Specifically, under construction are interactive maps of Eliot's travels abroad--including her many trips to Germany and her 1867 trip to Spain--but also her domestic travels and various English homes, which will provide important further contextual details for understanding Eliot's life and works.
These additional projects offer opportunities for collaboration and crowd-sourcing, so please get in touch with Bev at bdr0032@auburn.edu if you are interested in contributing to a George Eliot geo-spatial project.
