Iberoamérica Digital - 0 views

  •  
    BDPI (Biblioteca Digital del Patrimonio Iberoamericano) is a project of the Asociación de Bibliotecas Nacionales de Iberoamérica (ABINIA). Its objective is the creation of a portal which provides access, from a single search point, to the digital resources of all the participating libraries. With this portal, ABINIA aims at disseminating the bibliographic heritage of each and every library involved in the project, enabling the largest possible number of citizens to approach their collections. At the same time, BDPI is meant to become an example of international cooperation amongst Latin American countries.This portal should also encourage all library members of ABINIA to give a firm impulse to the digitization of their collections, as well as to automation and normalization of their catalogues - adapting them to international standards for description and interchange and thus allowing interoperability, required for the development of the project.Design and creation of the portal has so far been undertaken by the National Library of Spain (BNE), who has carried out the current portal development, always keeping ABINIA informed of every step followed.

Jane Austen Fiction Manuscripts by Kathryn Sutherland - 1 views

  •  
    The Jane Austen's Fiction Manuscripts Digital Edition gathers together in the virtual space of the web some 1100 pages of fiction written in Jane Austen's own hand. Through digital reunification, it is now possible to access, read, and compare high quality images of original manuscripts whose material forms are scattered around the world in libraries and private collections. Unlike the famous printed novels, all published in a short span between 1811 and 1818, these manuscripts trace Jane Austen's development as a writer from childhood to the year of her death; that is, from 1787 (aged 11 or 12) to 1817 (aged 41). Not only do they provide a unique visual record of her imagination from her teenage experiments to her last unfinished writings, these pages represent one of the earliest collections of creative writings in the author's hand to survive for a British novelist.

SCETI: Horace Howard Furness Shakespeare Collection - 0 views

  •  
    The Furness Shakespeare Library has made available over the internet rare and often first editions of Elizabethan documents contemporary to Shakespeare, as well as Shakespeare's own works. By scanning the images of these rare texts, the library hopes to inspire interest and learning through texts most will never have the opportunity to see otherwise. Within this website you can browse by author or text. While some texts are complete others contain title pages or illustrations, or the author's comments. Under ERIC (English Renaissance in Context) there are tutorials designed to assist teachers. The tutorials do not supply answers like study guides, rather they propose important questions about the text and bring up issues to be discussed in class. There are tutorials on "Romeo and Juliet", "Merchant of Venice", "Richard III", "King Lear", and topics about Renaissance publishing and printing.
