The seminar will be held in IEB G109 .\n\n \;\n"Extracting Bibliographic Data from Historical Publishing Ca talogues"\nAbstract: Book data can reveal large-scale trends in textual p roduction\, sales\, and readership\, but data from within the publishing i ndustry remains hard to come by\, especially in historical contexts. The E nglish Catalogue of Books provides a yearly record of books issued in Engl and and Ireland from the mid-19th through the mid-20th centuries–a perio d when London was home to the largest English-language publishing industry in the world. The ECB thus provides invaluable\, aggregate information on a century of Anglophone textual production\, but until recently it has on ly been available in printed books or digital facsimiles\, making it diffi cult to draw large-scale conclusions from the information it contains. We discuss our process of extracting bibliographic data from the catalogues f or over 99\,000 titles published between 1912 and 1922\, and we consider t he top titles\, authors\, and genres being issued during this period. \n\n  \;\n\nSpeaker Bios: \n\nAnna Preus is an Assistant Professor in the E nglish department at UW\, focusing on 20th-century literature in English a nd data science in the humanities. She leads UW’s Humanities Data Lab\, co-leads the Humanities Data Science Summer Institute\, and serves as core faculty in Textual and Digital Studies. \n\n\nSiddharth Bhogra is a PhD s tudent in the English department at UW. He is a computational humanist int erested in tracking how literature registers\, conspires with\, and is dis loyal to empire\, broadly construed\; with a specific focus on form and in frastructure in 20th century South Asian literature.\n\n\n \;\nThe 202 5-2026 seminars will be held in person\, and are free and open to the publ ic.
