A pioneer in digital humanities scholarship, the archive has brought together both streams of Blake\u2019s work, for the first time making it easily available as he originally created it. A newly launched, transformative redesign of the archive makes this international public resource even more accessible to scholars and casual readers.<\/p>\n<p>The archive now holds almost 7,000 images from 45 of the world\u2019s leading research libraries and museums. It integrates editions, catalogs, databases, and scholarly tools into a single electronic archive.<\/p>\n<p>It is a joint project of the University of Rochester and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with support from the Library of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The archive made history when, in 2003, it became the first electronic scholarly edition to receive the Prize for a Distinguished Scholarly Edition from the Modern Language Association, the major professional organization for the study and teaching of language and literature.
