Acknowledgements

A project of this scope, one requiring significant amounts of travel as well as varied technical developments, necessarily depends upon a large number of first-rate people for its success. Insofar as my work contributes to the fields of bibliography and humanities computing, I can only acknowledge the crucial contributions of the following persons and institutions:

• John Unsworth, Thorny Staples, Hoyt Duggan, Jerome McGann and The Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities
• The Bibliographical Society of America
• The Huntington Library, San Marino, California
• Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, DC
• Richard Oram and The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Texas at Austin
• Special Collections Department of the University of Virginia Library
• The staffs of Boston University Special Collections, Boston Public Library, Brown University's John Hay Library, Library of Congress, Wellesley College Special Collections, William and Mary Special Collections, and Texas Christian University.

Furthermore, a select group of scholars must be mentioned for their invaluable and continuing insights, intelligence and support:

• David Vander Meulen
• James Riddell
• Kendon Stubbs
• David Seaman
• Randall McLeod
• Terry Belanger
• Johan Gerritsen

Finally I must acknowledge the inestimable support, both personal and professional, of my wife Susan, without whom none of this would have been possible.
