(36 months)
Begun in 1993 as a project of the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities (IATH) at the University of Virginia, The Rossetti Archive is a free online scholarly resource for studying the entirety of the complex body of work created by D.G. Rossetti - the poet, painter, translator, and craft designer who was a key figure in the late Victorian aesthetic revival. It implements an original digital design for editing a broad range of textual and graphical humanities materials - proofs, manuscripts, drawings, paintings, designs, etc. These materials exist in the Archive both as high-quality digital images and as XML-marked files for full search and analysis. Composed now of some 9,000 digital files, no other current online scholarly resource in arts and letters has the range or depth of the Archive. With its first two phases of development now (2002) finished, the proposal applies for funding to complete the two final phases of the project. |
