	abstract = {In this essay Stephen Pigney and Katherine Hunt discuss the digital database British Printed Images in 1700 (bpi1700) and explore its potential use in modern scholarship. Pigney and Hunt critique two features of the database: creating a structure and developing a subject thesaurus. Pigney and Hunt argue that the value of bpi1700 lies in its ability to become an authoritative catalogue raisonn{\'e}, as its importance is less defined by "the itemization and presentation of as many individual prints as possible and more in its ability to group prints together in intelligent ways that offer greater contextualization of them as material objects." To conclude, Pigney and Hunt return to the original decision of bpi1700 to be mounted online. They argue that the goals of the project made it well suited for digital publication, despite the challenges that come alongside this choice.},
