This Web site, the output of a class project undertaken at the University of Virginia in 1995, is dedicated to publishing an electronic version of the 1850 Pre-Raphaelite journal 'The Germ'. The material is based on the 1901 Eliot Stock facsimile editon and is accompanied by an introduction to the project, background information about the journal, several reviews of 'The Germ' by contemporaries, and a hyperlinked body of study notes (complete with a list of differences between the original text published in the journal itself and that to be found in the facsimile edition on which the projects was based).

The Rossetti Archive facilitates the scholarly study of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the painter, designer, writer, and translator who was, according to both John Ruskin and Walter Pater, the most important and original artistic force in the second half of the nineteenth century in Great Britain. In Whistler's famous comment, "He was a king". Completed in 2008 to the plan laid out in 1993, the Archive provides students and scholars with access to all of DGR's pictorial and textual works and to a large contextual corpus of materials, most drawn from the period when DGR's work first appeared and established its reputation (approximately 1848-1920), but some stretching back to the 14th-century sources of his Italian translations. All documents are encoded for structured search and analysis.
