Phrenology2023-24 Projects and Project Staff

The main projects this coming year will be completing the transformation of the Whitman Archive’s technical infrastructure under the power of an NEH grant; finishing work on another NEH grant to expand the Archive’s section on Whitman’s journalism; starting a new NEH grant to complete the Archive’s selection of Whitman’s late-life materials; working on some new grant proposals for Chesnutt materials and collaborations in Cleveland; submitting the final manuscript and building the Manifold site for The Futures of Digital Scholarly Editing (based on our successful symposium on the same theme); and working on an NHPRC-funded initiative to create Cleveland-area collaborations and add 250 pieces of correspondence to the Charles W.
