Abstract
In August 2014, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded the Sheridan Libraries of Johns Hopkins University a $39,000 Planning Grant to explore the creation of a pilot digital humanities project dealing with heavily annotated early modern imprints. The grant funds were used to underwrite the cost of a three-day planning workshop convened at Johns Hopkins University in late August 2014, followed by the participating institutions’ intention to complete a full implementation grant request to fund the creation of a digital resource geared to on-line research of early modern annotated books). This project was the result of an international scholarly collaboration between the Department of Special Collections and the Digital Research and Curation Center of the Sheridan Libraries at Johns Hopkins University (JHU); the Princeton University Library; and the Centre for Editing Lives & Letters at University College London (CELL, UCL). The Principal Investigator for this grant was Dr. Earle A. Havens of the Sheridan Libraries at JHU. The Co-Principal Investigators for this project were Professor Lisa Jardine of CELL, UCL; Professor Anthony Grafton of Princeton University; and Professor Walter Stephens of JHU. What follows is a list of participants in that planning workshop, and summaries and detailed transcripts of the discussions that transpired during the course of the three-day workshop.
