Cullen Project Explorer Dataset

The Cullen Project Explorer is an analytical companion to the Cullen Project, a collaboration between the Medical Humanities Research Centre, School of Critical Studies at the University of Glasgow, and the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE), funded by a major AHRC research grant award (2012–15). The Cullen Project presents a publicly accessible, online scholarly edition of one of the most important archives of eighteenth-century medical consultation letters. The Explorer is a separate research tool that adds corpus-linguistic and quantitative analysis capabilities on top of the Glasgow edition's data. It hosts no letter images and displays no full transcriptions — every "read this letter" action links to the Glasgow website. The Explorer provides: subcorpus construction, concordance (KWIC), comparative keyness with register profiles, distribution views, and a showcase of curated analyses.This analytical dataset is derived from source data, which was downloaded from the University of Glasgow's research data repository: researchdata.gla.ac.uk/1225. This dataset is produced by an ETL pipeline that reads the raw data, parses TEI XML, computes linguistic features, and outputs a compact read-only database.
