Abstract
While theoretical texts on collecting circulated widely in the republic of letters, today’s scholarship on the making of digital collections is often siloed in the fields of digital humanities or information management studies and rarely reaches those who study early modern texts. This prevents consumers of early modern texts online from participating in the debates around the digitization of their primary sources. This essay seeks to redress this fragmentation by proposing a collective model of digital curation for early modern resources which balances wide reach with a deep and meaningful engagement with the academic community. It focuses on a digital portfolio of early modern resources shared online by the Royal Society in 2019 and 2020, from the manuscript catalogues of its early modern collections to Robert Hooke’s Micrographia.
