Further Research Projects

Right now I am editing The Virginia Fox Stern Center for the History of the Book website, a Digital Humanities project which aims to catalogue and publish descriptive bibliographies for Early Modern acquisitions in the Johns Hopkins University Library. I have been involved with the project since 2023, first as a cataloguer and (as of 2024) co-director of the project.
