Data page overview.

+
The data for the Death by Numbers project has been manually transcribed out of photographs and digitized microfiche images of the original bills of mortality. To ensure that scholars are able to trace our transcriptions back to the original, archival sources, we have divided our transcribed bills into multiple datasets that are named and described according to the archive and call numbers where we found collections of bills. This is most apparent in the downloadable CSV files and can also be traced in the unique IDs for each transcription. For more on our project workflow, see our [methodologies essays](https://deathbynumbers.org/methodologies/).

The London Bills of Mortality make an excellent resource to use in a classroom environment and are appropriate for students grades 8-12, undergraduates, and graduates. You may find below a poster presentation on using the bills in the classroom and a link to the prototype of a text-based adventure game to survive the Great Plague of 1665. More pedagogical resources will be forthcoming.
