Presenting interdisciplinary research at the intersection of the humanities and information science, this series brings to light new documentation and perspectives in the humanities promoting a vision of open access to scholarly communication linking articles to digitized documents.   At the same time, it aims to bridge the gap between scholarly print journals and digital libraries by linking commentary and interpretation with documentary sources.
