About
The Emma B. Andrews Diary Project is proud to be a member of Newbook Digital Texts, founded in 2012 by Walter Andrews, Mary Childs and Sarah Ketchley at the University of Washington.
Our project goals:
- To preserve and make freely available lesser known or understudied literary and historical texts from the Near East.
- To develop a new hybrid model of rigorous training in the core skills associated with historical and literary research, coupled with essential competencies in computer literacy.
- To further the advancement of digital humanities as a field in order to foster much needed technical skills in graduate and undergraduate humanities students.
