As you work on your own projects, you might find some of these links and contexts useful when imagining the various approaches one might take to special collections materials.

This list is a work-in-progress. Suggestions for additional content? Email me (james_mcgrath@brown.edu) or get in touch via Twitter (@JimMc_Grath).
