Research on religious violence has increasingly relied on event-based datasets and digital archives, yet attacks on places of worship remain poorly captured as a distinct analytical object. Such attacks are often dispersed across heterogeneous sources and absorbed into broader categories of terrorism, hate crime, or ethnic conflict, obscuring the specific spatial, symbolic, and communal dimensions of violence directed at worshippers in sacred space. This paper presents Plorabunt, an open-access digital archive and global dataset developed to document violence against places of worship worldwide from 1982 to the present. At the time of presentation, the dataset records more than 1,623 fatalities and is built through curated integration and cross-validation of diverse materials, including press archives, NGO reports, legal and diplomatic documents, regional databases, and scholarly sources. Rather than treating data as a neutral record, the project foregrounds questions of classification, provenance, uncertainty, and iterative revision as central components of its digital design. The paper outlines the data modeling and curation choices underpinning Plorabunt and reflects on their epistemic implications for the digital study of religion and violence. By combining structured data with a publicly accessible and sustainable digital platform, Plorabunt supports comparative and longitudinal analysis across religious traditions, regions, and historical contexts, while also serving as a case study in how digital infrastructures shape what can be known, compared, and interpreted about violence involving religious communities and sacred spaces.
