Established in 2009, we are a collaborative, interdisciplinary research project based at the <\/span>University of Oxford<\/a>\u00a0with funding from <\/span>The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Arts and Humanities Research Council<\/a>. We are using digital methods to reassemble and interpret the correspondence networks of the early modern period.<\/span><\/p>\n

EMLO<\/a><\/h1>\n

Early Modern Letters Online is our growing union catalogue of correspondence from the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. Developing EMLO is now at the heart of what we do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pilot Projects<\/a><\/h1>\n

Two case studies focusing on the epistolary networks of Samuel Hartlib and Jan Amos Comenius are supplying EMLO with research questions and fresh data, and vetting its digital solutions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Events<\/a><\/h1>\n

A rich programme of seminars, workshops, conferences, and focus groups is informing EMLO’s ongoing development and embedding it within a community of potential users and contributors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We also curate an archive of epistolary Resources<\/a>, and maintain an active\u00a0Blog<\/a>. Our continuing objective is to develop EMLO into a\u00a0union catalogue increasingly representative<\/a> of the early modern Republic of Letters as a whole, an invaluable research tool<\/a> for those confronting epistolary data on all scales, and a platform for the\u00a0collaborative reconstruction<\/a>\u00a0of the correspondence cultures of the early modern world.<\/p>\n
