18thConnect is a community of scholars shaping the world of digital resources related to the long 18th Century (1660-1820). The mission of 18thConnect is to focus on:
- Access via plain-text searching for all scholars to open access and proprietary and digital archives including EEBO and ECCO, even if their institutions are unable to afford those resources;
- Peer-review of the growing number of digital resources and archives for which 18thConnect offers an online finding aid;
- Reflection on Best Practices with scholars who are negotiating new modes of publication and scholarly production.
18thConnect is directed by Emily Friedman at Auburn University.
