The London House Project uses data visualization to make London House, a kitchen record dating from 1612 to 1614, discernible and navigable.
Documenting the foods purchased by houses on a weekly basis, kitchen records are rare yet vital sources as they provide one of the most accurate representations of Early Modern diets. However, as with London House, they are often highly complex and difficult to read, making it virtually impossible for historians to gather any useful information. By gathering information from London House and using data visualization tools to present the findings, this project seeks to increase the accessibility of this record, making it a viable source for food historians.
