Harry Ransom Center Introduces Edgar Allan Poe Digital Collection

From the Announcement:

The Harry Ransom Center...at The University of Texas at Austin, has introduced the Edgar Allan Poe digital collection, an archive of 4,000 images of more than 200 materials.

The collection includes materials ranging from Poe's correspondence and manuscripts to letters about Poe and his writings by Arthur Conan Doyle, Stephane Mallarme and Charles Baudelaire.

The materials can be viewed online at http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/digitalpoe.

The digital collection, which will remain on the Web site after the exhibition concludes, includes images of all Poe manuscripts and letters at the Ransom Center with a selection of related archival materials, two books by Poe annotated by the author, sheet music based on his poems and portraits from the Center's collections. Poe's manuscripts and letters are linked to transcriptions on the Web site of the Poe Society of Baltimore.

Visitors will be able to view Poe's manuscripts of short stories such as "The Domain of Arnheim" and "The Spectacles" and poems such as "Annabel Lee" and part of "The Raven." Also featured are books belonging to Poe, including the author's annotated copies of "Eureka" and "Tales and Poems," showing how he added several sentences to the end of "The Gold Bug."

More than 15 interactive page-turning simulations are also online for some of the manuscripts and books, including "Tamerlane and Other Poems/by a Bostonian," "The Spectacles," "Eureka: A Prose Poem," "The Red Masque," "The Raven" and "Other Poems [and] Tales."

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content.

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
