Abstract
This dataset contains the output data from The Coleridge Fellowship 2025-26. Python code was compiled to extract entities relating to people and places from xml files exported from the Transkribus Optical Character Recognition platform. The data covers the years 1864 to 1873. It is in two formats - csv and gexf (for use with Gephi) - and includes the names, titles, years of service and survey parties of Survey of India surveyors, together with placenames relevant to their surveying work. A data dictionary is also provided.
