## Description

@tedunderwood.bsky.social is a brand that focuses on text mining and advancing literary history using large digital libraries. The brand was initially created as a platform to share interesting discoveries made on Google's ngram viewer, but has since evolved into a blog dedicated to explaining the addiction to text mining within the broader humanistic community. With a focus on eighteenth and nineteenth-century literature, @tedunderwood.bsky.social has built a collection of 4,500 English-language books from that period, with plans to scale up to a 500,000-volume collection. The brand also collaborates with researchers to develop OCR-correction tools and mine correlations in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century printed record. The name of the blog, The Stone and the Shell, draws inspiration from Wordsworth's Prelude, showcasing the brand's dedication to exploring the mystery and power of words.
