Dissertation and Assorted Datasets
A bit of a misclellany, as are the maps, here's a few of the datasets I am compiling and playing with right now.

Ontario Distilleries and Breweries in 1914
This is a bit of an experimental presentation using the new Exhibit framework from the Simile/SAIL folks. Its a small dataset (55 records), and this one will be more interesting over time, possibly reflecting more efficient trasnportation or the changing tastes of Ontarion drinkers. However, from a data presentation standpoint, the Exhibit framework is very cool, because you can work with this data (filter, views) entirely within your browser. Try clicking on the facets on the right hand side of the page, to turn various towns or types of enterprises off and on. None of the operations are preformed through any calls to the server or to a database. Rather slick. Limited to a lesser number of records, but very cool for thos with a few interesting datasets....

Huron County Tavern Keepers 1871
This is also an experimental presentation using the Exhibit framework. Try clicking on some of the facets on the right hand side of the page, to filter the list by various demographic factors.
