While I don’t know that I have much to contribute to the conversation, it sounds like something fascinating to listen to. I’m curious about the coding, however. What was the advantage of moving to static sites and away from CMS’d installs (which I’m assuming you’d run before)? I’d certainly be interested to learn from you about how to do this.

As a die-hard early modernist (if one who focuses on the other side of the Atlantic), I heartily approve of this conversation and would love to be part of it. I’d add that the challenges of studying the period–large swaths of the population not leaving written records of their lives, different understandings of even basic notions of identity, etc–are methodological challenges that might be akin to those trying to examine the full range of today’s cultures.

I am only understanding about half of what you just posted, but I think that I am, in theory, in favor of your session idea. Unless I would, in real life, understand less than half of it.
