Six Degrees of Francis Bacon is a digital humanities project that allows users to examine the social networks of early modern England. Six Degrees was created by a team of scholars across the United States and is hosted by Carnegie Mellon University Libraries. While this project may especially appeal to historians as well as philosophy and English literature scholars conducting research, it is simply enjoyable to explore out of curiosity. Under the browse tab, visitors will find a Social Network Analysis visualization, which they can choose to view data a couple of different ways. Visitors can search this visualization by person (e.g. Queen Elizabeth I, Sir Walter Raleigh, Robert Cecil) or by group (e.g. Participants in the Field of Cloth Guild, Metaphysical Poets, Puritans). From here, visitors can find out how individuals and groups were connected to others. Visitors may want to start by reading a helpful tutorial available under the help tab to learn how to best make use of this unique project's features.
