I'm Lincoln Mullen. I am a historian of American religion and the nineteenth-century United States, often using computational methods for texts and maps. I am history faculty at George Mason University, and Director of Computational History at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (@CHNM on GitHub).
My work on GitHub mostly involves my research projects. These are usually data analytical projects, but I have also developed some software packages. To give you a quick tour of the highlights:
- America's Public Bible: A Commentary (repo) is an application of machine-learning to find millions of biblical quotations in historical U.S. newspapers and understand the results.
- American Religious Ecologies (repo) digitizes, transcribes, maps, and visualizes historical datasets about American religion.
- Legal Modernism (repo) analyzes nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century Anglo-American treatises, caselaw, and other legal documents. Our civil procedure codes repo contains code for an earlier article.
- Apiary (repo) is RRCHNM's data API, written in Go.
- Computing Cultural Heritage in the Cloud (repo) was an experiment to apply machine-learning models across the Library of Congress digital collections using their APIs.
- I maintain the following R packages, which you can also find on R Universe: tokenizers, textreuse, USAboundaries, historydata, internetarchive, gender, WPAnarratives, tractarian, geochecker.
- dotfiles and CV repos.
You can find me at various places around the internet:
- My website (repo).
- My Micro.blog.
- My newsletter about American religious history, digital history, and the making thereof.
