One of the most prolific and influential writers in American history, Henry James lacks a sufficiently rigorous and sustainable online archive. “Toward a Digital Henry James” will bring together James scholars and digital humanists to brainstorm goals and methodologies for remedying this situation by shaping Henry James’s online future. In collaboration with the IHR Nexus Lab and scholars at ASU, this project will gather nationally prominent scholars of Henry James, digital humanities (DH), and textual editing to determine the future best practices for creating a permanent, online, open-source archive of Henry James texts for both scholarly projects and public enrichment.
