Researchers at the University of Sheffield have launched a new online catalogue examining the history of miracles through the ages. The database includes over 600 miracles spanning three continents and 800 years of history, and allows for exploration of links between records, such as locations, gender and the outcomes of the miracles. The information has already revealed that miracles became more diverse over the years and that the lower classes appeared to be more favourably treated by the saints. You can view the catalogue on the University of Sheffield website.
