This is the collaborative blog for the William Blake Archive, wherein we discuss recent and upcoming projects, digital humanities, and William Blake.
Begun in 1996, the Blake Archive was conceived as an international public resource that would provide unified access to major works of visual and literary are that are highly disparate, widely dispersed, and more and more often severely restricted as a result of their value, rarity, and extreme fragility. The Archive contains fully searchable electronic editions of many copies of Blake's 19 illuminated works in the context of full, up-to-date bibliographic information about each image, scrupulous diplomatic transcriptions of all texts, detailed descriptions of all images, extensive bibliographies, a searchable electronic version of the standard print edition, and other essential scholarly information, plus a steadily growing representation of Blake's works in other artistic media.
