About Us

The Sifter
Mission Statement

The Sifter is a public database, free to all users. It is a tool for
finding and comparing historical and contemporary writing on food and
food-related topics. It is overseen by an advisory board composed of
members from The Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery as well as
other friends of food history. As with Wikipedia, the Sifter will be
populated by its users. All entries will have an English translation,
enabling users to search languages they cannot read. Soon, we will
have over 100 languages represented. Registered users will be able to
make corrections and add new information. Future releases will
include a data visualization component. We also plan to include more
resources linking to digitized photographs, artworks, television and
film. With the aid of this tool, it is our hope that what has been
invisible will come into focus.
