The Mark Twain
Project, which I intend to focus on in this talk, is eScholarship’s latest
venture into the digital academic publishing world.In the broadest sense, this project
promises an expansion of the critical edition as a scholarly tool, the
development of a sustainable publishing model for digital scholarly editions,
and a node of intersection between technology and often technologically
underrepresented disciplines within the humanities.I will discuss each of these points in
finer detail in the course of this talk.But first, a little back ground [switch to next slide] on our
scholarly publishing initiatives thus far….
