Summer Workshop Quicklinks The World of Dante offers a rich interface for searching the Inferno and references, as well as a fascinating VRML visualization of the Inferno for those with VRML plugins. Search Vaenius' Amorum emblematat, part of the Emblem Project Utrecht. The William Blake Archive offers a search interface for both text and images. The complex search at the Women Writer's Project demonstrates how embedded metadata can enhance search results. They also have a new experimental search interface created with XPhiloLogic. Models of display The Versioning Machine at the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities offers side-by-side displays of textual versions, whether encoded as discrete files or using the TEI parallel-segmentation method. (Despite the site's disclaimer, most functions really do work on a macintosh running Netscape!) Wendell Piez at Rutgers has created a good interface for a number of the TEI documents. Here are two examples: The Miguel de Cervantes Virtual Library at the University of Alicante is a digital archive (in Spanish) of materials from Spanish and Hispano-American cultures. The Newton Project at Imperial College in London presents Newton's writings in two versions: "normalized" (i.e. a definitive version) and "diplomatic" (i.e. a version which represents the manuscript with deletions, insertions, obvious errors, etc. in tact). Pedagogical models Martha Nell Smith's: Emily Dickinson Writing a Poem steps students through questions of textual identity: start with her Preface, and work your way through! The Walt Whitman archive at the University of Virginia's Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities offers access to much of Whitman's work. It also links to teaching materials that can be used with the site. Related to both of these sites is The Classroom Electric which collects materials together by and about Whitman and Dickinson from various sources, and presents them for classroom use. | |
