Humanities scholars, curators, and information scientists are partnering from MITH, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nypl.org\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York Public Library<\/a> (NYPL), the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bodleian Libraries<\/a> of the University of Oxford, the <a href=\"http:\/\/hcl.harvard.edu\/libraries\/houghton\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Houghton Library<\/a> of Harvard University, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huntington.org\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Huntington<\/a> Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bl.uk\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">British Library<\/a>,  to put manuscripts and early editions of these Romantic writers online  and freely accessible to the public.

Denlinger, Curator of the Pforzheimer Collection of the New York Public  Library.<\/p>\n<p>MITH  will create the project\u2019s infrastructure with the assistance of the New  York Public Library\u2019s digital humanities group, NYPL Labs. MITH and the  Bodleian will further develop the tools and interface used for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quartos.org\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shakespeare Quartos Archive<\/a>.  Tools and functions will include the ability to collate texts, overlay  images of the original manuscripts and view them side by side, search  the complete text, and tag content with user annotations. The prototype  will be tested by undergraduates and graduates, and established  specialists drawn largely from the project\u2019s Advisory Board.<\/p>\n<p>MITH,  in addition to its partners, seeks to cultivate and further the  Shelley-Godwin Archive as a comprehensive, accurate and accessible  digital resource for British Romanticism scholars, in order to provide  the platform for an intellectual journey into nineteenth-century verse,  history, and letters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley\u2019s Frankenstein, also titled The Modern Prometheus, stands as one of the most widely read novels of the Romantic era since its publication [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[66,74,77],"tags":[169,174,176],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Frankenstein Goes Digital: Recent NEH Award to Build Shelley-Godwin Archive &ndash;
