A Note on Hyperlinks to Digitized Mateiral
Many of the documents authored by Livingstone have been digitized thanks to the Livingstone Online team with the generous support of archives around the world. The chapter on Livingstone draws heavily from material in the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh and at the David Livingstone Birthplace Museum in Blantyre, Scotland. Livingstone Online hosts photographs of the letters mentioned in my analysis as well as a fully searchable transcription of the document’s content. However, due to the way that Livingstone Online displays images of the letters, it is not possible to embed them as iframes in this site. Most of the images are licensed under Creative Commons licenses that allow for republication and remixing with proper attribution for non-commercial purposes. Rather than download the images and host them without their corresponding transcriptions, I have chosen to hyperlink to these materials so that the reader can see a more robust representation of the letters’ content and explore related letters, diaries, and cultural objects through Livingstone Online. To distinguish these links from other hyperlinked content, I highlight the link in a blue that matches the color of the paper that Livingstone used for his letters. After clicking the link, you will need to remove the Scalar header and then go to the page described in the citation.
Navigate to page nine of this letter to see Livingstone use limelight as a metaphor for trade policies.
