Preparation for publication of volumes 5 and 6 of the Selected Papers of Jane Addams and a digital edition of the social reformer’s writings and letters from 1901-1935. (36 months)

The Jane Addams Papers Project is a scholarly editing project that will publish documents covering the years 1901-1935 in two formats. The first, the Jane Addams Digital Edition, is a freely-available edition of images, transcriptions, and metadata for all correspondence and writings. The second, The Selected Papers of Jane Addams, is a seven-volume edition that will contain transcribed and annotated documents covering the same years, with the most historically significant documents selected for publication. The project is also conducting a search for new Addams material that will be added to its publications and developing educational resources to encourage the use of the materials. It also serves as a practical experience using digital humanities tools for undergraduate students at the college.
