Visualizing Variation is a code library of free, open-source, browser-based visualization prototypes that textual scholars can use in digital editions, online exhibitions, born-digital articles, and other projects. All of the visualization prototypes offered here deal with different aspects of the bibliographical phenomenon of textual variation: the tendency of words, lines, passages, images, prefatory material, and other aspects of texts to change from one edition to the next, and even between supposedly identical copies of the same edition. Variants are material reminders of the complex social lives of texts.
a social network analysis of publishers, writers, manuscripts, and booksellers in the late-fifteenth through eighteenth century England. Created by a team of English scholars and librarians, along with a computer scientist, this project allows English and history scholars to explore metadata compiled from the English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC) - a catalogue of every book printed in England between 1473 and 1800.

The string2string library is an open-source tool that offers a comprehensive suite of efficient algorithms for a broad range of string-to-string problems. It includes both traditional algorithmic solutions and recent advanced neural approaches to address various problems in pairwise string alignment, distance measurement, lexical and semantic search, and similarity analysis. Additionally, the library provides several helpful visualization tools and metrics to facilitate the interpretation and analysis of these methods.
