Just published! A new Programming Historian lesson by Susan Grunewald + Ruth Mostern @rmostern.bsky.social doi.org/10.46430/phen0… Thanks to @apjanco and @VDucatteeuw for their reviews, and to Yann Ryan for editing.

Great new tutorial on 'Working with Named Places: How and Why to Build a Gazetteer' that embodies the spirit of the best Programming Historian tutorials: not just blocks of code, but considered rationale for working with code at the service of humanities questions, agendas, and problems.
