Baldwin Library of Children's Literature : Digital Collection in an online collection of digitised children's books at the University of Florida libraries.

Postcolonial digital humanities has taken shape recently as an emergent academic field. Its lineage reaches back to the 1990s, when scholars Deepika Bahri and George Landow first created websites such as "Postcolonial Studies at Emory" (original version) and "The Postcolonial Literature and Culture Web." These scholars marshaled the text-based internet culture of Web 1.0 to establish sites of knowledge; identify key terms, theorists, and stakes for postcolonial studies; and to publicize the field. This website website addresses these opportunities by outlining the shape of the contemporary 'postcolonial digital humanities' through interrogating the ways postcolonial studies has evolved through different phases of internet culture from the original Web 1.0 postcolonial websites, to the "transmedia" shift beginning in the mid-2000s, to the later move to Web 2.0 and the rise of social media cultures.

he Afterlife of Alice in Wonderland was an exhibit of various editions of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and other Alice-related material. The exhibit included the first American edition of the text (D. Appleton, 1866) and other editions of the original text, including a facsimile edition of the original manuscript, Adventures Underground, which includes Lewis Carroll's own illustrations.
