The George Eliot Archive features an interactive tool for visualizing George Eliot's friends and relations--her social network.
- Interactive Visualization Tool: Displays George Eliot's social network, with significant relationships appearing larger and closer to her, and lesser ones smaller and farther away.
- Biographical Summaries: Click on any of the 125 thumbnail portraits to access brief summaries of their relationship with George Eliot, written by class and team members (2019–2021) under Dr. Beverley Rilett. These are based on The Oxford Reader's Companion to George Eliot (edited by John Rignall), who also reviewed and provided editorial suggestions.
- Letters Index: Includes references to letters written to/from George Eliot, as indexed in The George Eliot Letters (edited by Gordon S. Haight). Rachel Gordon edited the project's index of letters.
- Expert Contributions: Additional editorial review provided by John Rignall, Kathleen McCormack, Brenda MacKay, Robert Muscutt, and Beverley Rilett.
- Data Visualization Development:
- Initial coding by Riley Ji (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) using JavaScript and D3.js.
- Updates and revisions by Brad Hughes and Libo Sun (Auburn University) since 2021.
- Ongoing Project: Many more relationships will be added as this project continues to evolve with new updates and features.
