- The Gender and Work Project
Within the Gender and Work project at the Department of
History, Uppsala University, historians are interested in what men
and women did to support themselves in the time period
1550–1800. Part of their research consists in searching for text
passages revealing this information in different historical sources,
and storing the information in the Gender and Work database. In
connection with this, several historical sources have been OCRed
and/or manually transcribed, with a special focus on court records.
