Corporate Directors of Victorian Britain

This repository provides real-world data and analytical tools for exploring British corporate directorate data spanning a 20 year period from 1880 to 1900. The data was collected from the Guildhall Library in The City of London and digitised manually.

The raw directorate data are predominately stored in .csv and .xlsx files, the tools for analysis are written in the R programming language and will be extended upon as the data is continually cleaned up.

A specific case of the directorate data of 1880 is accessible in the networkR package, which can be found here and installed in R with the following commands:

# install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("O1sims/networkR")
