Karen and I will be presenting together again at Code4Lib. Our talk, “Cupper and Leecher, Tinman and Shrimp Fiend: Data Science Tools for Examining Historical Occupation Data,” will be held on March 9. You can read our abstract here: https://2020.code4lib.org/talks/Cupper-and-leecher-tinman-and-shrimp-fiend-Data-science-tools-for-examining-historical-occupation-data

I’ll post our Code4Lib slides after we give the talk. 
LEADS has been a wonderful experience, and I’m glad to be able to talk about it to others. Hopefully the lessons from Karen and my experiences will inform another year of work on the HSP project. There’s a lot more to do, but the end results will be useful for a wide audience.
