The Living with Machines project (2018-23) was a data science and digital history project between the British Library and The Alan Turing Institute with partner universities. Funded by the UKRI and AHRC in 2018, the project brought historians, data scientists, geographers, computational linguists, library professionals and curators together to examine the human impact of industrial revolution with sources such as digitised newspapers, census records and maps. Living with Machines was a data-driven history project, and a historically-informed data science project. It was also the biggest digital humanities project in the UK to date, and created outputs from books to code and datasets to an exhibition.

For the latter, it opens up the contents of Amsterdam City Archives’ extensive collections of notarial deeds, baptism, marriage, and burial registries, which provide insight into the households of Amsterdamers during the seventeenth and eighteenth century. „Leon van Wissen/Veruska Zamborlini/Charles van den Heuvel: Toward an ontology for archival resources.
