The goal of this project is to geographically locate and visualize the different locations of witch trials, detention, and execution by using &#8220;real-world&#8221; data.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.ac.uk\/profile\/ms-anne-marie-scott\">Anne-Marie Scott<\/a>, Deputy Director of Learning, Teaching and Web Services at the University of Edinburgh, was the Professor behind this project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"397\" height=\"359\" src=\"http:\/\/classprojects.digitalwcu.org\/SpookySzn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Capture.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classprojects.digitalwcu.org\/SpookySzn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Capture.jpg 397w, https:\/\/classprojects.digitalwcu.org\/SpookySzn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Capture-300x271.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><figcaption>Anne-Marie Scott<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Significance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When students do a class project, the final project is usually looked at by one other person, the teacher. That&#8217;s not the case for this project. This project was done by a group of students who believe data should be open and accessible to everyone around the world. The students who conducted this project are not data scientists and they are not experts, but this project shows how they learned how to work with data. While finding this data and putting together this project, the students created a <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ed.ac.uk\/ecarroll3_witchcraft_visualisation\/\">blog<\/a> for people to follow their journey and see their process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"410\" src=\"http:\/\/classprojects.digitalwcu.org\/SpookySzn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Capture-1-1024x410.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classprojects.digitalwcu.org\/SpookySzn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Capture-1-1024x410.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/classprojects.digitalwcu.org\/SpookySzn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Capture-1-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/classprojects.digitalwcu.org\/SpookySzn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Capture-1-768x307.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classprojects.digitalwcu.org\/SpookySzn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Capture-1.jpg 1264w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The Student&#8217;s Blog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Scottish Witchcraft Database project was created by a group of Masters Students at the University of Edinburgh.
