Pleiades Project Blog

Last modified Jan 26, 2026 10:52 AM

This blog is essential reading for contributors, editors, reviewers and staff of partner projects. It's where we'll announce site-wide projects, major maintenance work, new site or dataset features, and community events.

You can use a feed reader to subscribe to the Atom feed of this blog. You can also subscribe to a separate Atom feed of all recently added and updated gazetteer entries. Each individual place resource in the gazetteer also has its own Atom feed, so you can monitor the records for places you care about (look for "Atom" under the "Alternate representations" heading on any place page).

Pleiades has a frequent announcements and site status account on hcommons.social in the Fediverse that you can visit in your browser, follow with an ActivityPub-capable application at @pleiades_gazetteer@hcommons.social, or subscribe using RSS. That account is also mirrored in Bluesky as @pleiades-gazetteer.hcommons.social.ap.brid.gy for those who wish to follow it there.
