I am very pleased to announce the opening of the Jane Addams Papers Project at Ramapo College of New Jersey. This new project, funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, aims to publish documents from the second half of Addams’ life (1901-1935) in both digital and print publications.

The project opened its doors on September 1, sponsored by the College’s Salameno School of Humanities and Global Studies. We recently launched a website janeaddams.ramapo.edu, and held an interest meeting to introduce the project to students, faculty and staff.

Our goals for this year are to develop a digital editing platform using Omeka and to begin publishing document images, transcriptions, and descriptive metadata.
