publication, abstract: USC Digital Voltaire, a digital, multimodal critical edition of autograph letters, aims to combine the traditional scope of humanities inquiry with the affordancesfor and methodologies of digital scholarship, and to support scholarly inquiry at all levels, beyond the disciplines associated with Voltaire and the Enlightenment. Digital editing, and digital editions in particular, will likely expand in the next few decades as a multitude of assets become digitized and made available as online collections. One important question is: What role will librarians and archivists play in this era? USC Digital Voltaire points in one possible, creativeaccepted direction. and

Voltaire’s Autograph Letters at USC edited, t the University of Southern California (USC) Special Collections Department, researchers can findcopy 31 original (autograph) letters and four poems covering the years 1742 to 1777 by Voltaire, the pen name of François-Marie Arouet, A1694–1778. Voltaire’s clear writing style, humor, and sharp intelligence made him one of the greatest writers of the French Enlightenment, a period of intellectual ferment in the late 17th and the 18th centuries. His correspondents included other leading figures of the Enlightenment,reviewed, such as the mathematician and philosopher Jean le Rond d’Alembert; Frederick II (), king of Prussia; and Madame de Pompadour, the mistresspeer of King Louis XV of France. Voltaire’s voluminous correspondence currently comprisesis over 22,000 published letters, of which 16,136 are by Voltaire.1 The correspon- dence offers a multifaceted, private, and, at times, moving expression of the writer’s mss.innermost thoughts and feelings, through epistolary exchanges.

topics the letters cover: religious freedom and freedom of expression in France; the Ro- man Catholic Church and its social impact; Voltaire’s judicial campaigns in favor of the victims of intolerance; Frederick the Great’s military campaigns during the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–1748) and the Seven Years War (1754–1763); discussions on the theatrical life of the period; Voltaire’s remarks on many of his own works, as well as his commentaries (at times biting) on his contemporaries’ writings; and descriptions of his own health. 19.1.

At the same time, such work allows librarians and archivists to activate archival collections by enabling use and establishing participatory relationships around archival records.edited,3 The Voltaire letters in USC’s collection thus provided a unique opportunity. On the one hand, the letters themselves, and the broad set of topics upon which they touch, copy are uniquely suited for the construction of a digital critical edition in which facsimiles, transcriptions, and translations of those letters are connected to a network of cultural and historical mini-essays. On the other hand, by enriching these letters via a digital, multimodal critical edition, we had an opportunity, as librarians, to engage in emerging reviewed, modes of scholarly communication and Because digital productions are to lay the foundation for an experimental peer librarian-led digital humanities project: multimodal—thatis is, they deliver USC Digital Voltaire (http://scalar.usc.edu/ information in multiple modes, works/voltaire/index).

uncover patterns of information and different meanings they might not otherwise see, thus giving the opportunity for scholars and students to ask new questions and approach the letters with a larger frame of reference. Since the start of this project, we focused on the creation of a digital critical edition that includes both a seamless integration of digital resources and a digital methodologi- cal base that highlights the underlying production of ideas as a collective phenomenon during the Enlightenment. As a result, USC Digital Voltaire puts us in the role of “wit- nesses” to the vibrant milieu in which Voltaire lived. It allows us to explore (and under- 19.1. stand) the human experience (as illustrated in these letters) and to feel a profound sense of connection to Voltaire and his correspondents.

Developing a Digital Critical Edition: USC Digital Voltaire

At the core of USC Digital Voltaire is a set of 35 pages, one for each publication,of the 31 letters and 4 poems in USC’s collection Voltaire Correspondence, 1742–1777for. Each page contains a digital facsimile and an English translation of the letter or poem it features (see Figure 1). The digital facsimiles are high-resolution, and the captions for each lead the reader directly to the USC Digital Library (http://digitallibrary.usc.edu), where the digital master copies and all associated metadata (tagging or coding to facilitate information retrieval) are kept. In this way, documents can be inspectedaccepted as visual artifacts immediately ad- jacent to their translation. The translated textand of each document is also annotated with expandable notes, offering additional information on keywords.

Pages that feature letters to or from Voltaire are embedded within multiple contexts in our project. As a digital critical edition, USC Digital Voltaire offers readers the ability to engage Voltaire’s letters as a chronologically ordered set of communiqués and as a cluster of materials whose complex interconnections can be visualized, navigated, and explored.5 Readers of USC Digital Voltaire can Readers of USC Digital Voltaire access Voltaire’s letters as a series of pathways arranged by sender or receiver, and they can can access Voltaire’s letters as engage with the letters embedded within a con- 19.1. a series of pathways arranged stellation of cultural, political, and biographical by sender or receiver, and they events via an interactive timeline (see Figure 2).

From those mini-essays, readers can then either navigate back “down” to any letter associated with that keyword or further “up” to an index of allaccepted keywords of that type (for example, an index of all people or places mentioned in this collection of letters) and then back “down” again. Using a series of visualizationsand (see Figure 3), readers can also probe the interconnections between multiple letters and keywords. Alongside the multiple linear and nonlinear assemblages of letters, USC Digital Voltaire offers a series of more traditionally structured essays that frame the institutional context and provenance for the collectionedited, of letters. Our hope is that, together, these features will constitute a kind of virtual humanities laboratory, allowing scholars and students to immerse themselvescopy in a research environment of interconnected primary and contextual material from which they can develop their own hypotheses.

USC Digital Voltaire as a Model for Digitalreviewed, Humanities Initiatives in the Academic Library Like many digital humanities projects, USC Digital Voltaire is a blend of scholarly genres. We seepeer it as a digital critical edition of Voltaire’s selected correspondence between 1742 andis 1777. But to properly advance our project as a new model for digital humanities work within academic libraries, it is important to situate it within the larger cohort of mss.digital projects with which it shares affinities: digital editions, digital archives, and online digital exhibits. This Digital editions and digital archives have several, often overlapping, meanings. The distinction between these two types of projects has been the subject of some discussion.6 In the predominant view, a digital edition is a project that brings together material by or about an author or an author’s work; or material that relates to a topic, period, or event and that makes a scholarly or editorial intervention regarding that material.

While the distinction between digital archives and digital editions may remain contested, together they share a set of overlapping aims and features with USC Digital Voltaire. First, USC Digital Voltaire is an editorial endeavor, offering translations, tran- scriptions, and scholarly commentary on the textual and physical features of the letters 12 USC Digital Voltaire: Centering Digital Humanities in the Traditions of Library and Archival Science

in its collection.7 USC Digital Voltaire also attempts to situate its collected letters within a web of informational and contextual material. The letters are individually annotated with links to a wide range of historical and cultural mini-essays, and those essays are themselves part of an overall network of keywords and indexes that connect letters to one another via people, places, or themes. Like many digital archives and editions, USC Digital Voltaire incorporates, at its core, a set of tools that allow researchers to organize items, by way of this network of extratextual material, in a way beneficial for their use and to visualize complex connections between them. 19.1. USC Digital Voltaire includes an additional layer of scholarly production beyond the editorial work at its core and the network of informational content that allows re- searchers to contextualize that work. USC Digital Voltaire was also built to showcase anportal institutional collection, the Voltaire Correspondence, 1742–1777, housed at USC’s Special Collections and hosted online at the USC Digital Library. It is, for that , an outlier among digital editions, which customarily focus on either a single work or, more often, bring together a set of documents from multiple collections to exhaustively cover a given author, topic, period, or event.8 In this way, USC Digital Voltaire aligns withpublication, a newer genre in the digital humanities: the online digital exhibit. Digital exhibitsfor can take many forms, but in recent years, they have been built predominantly using Omeka, a Web publishing platform developed at the Center for History and New Media for creating media-rich online exhibits.9 These projects often showcase specific archival collections while also, at times, offering some of the standard features andaccepted functionality found in digital edi- tions and digital archives. These types of projects are, by and large, built by librarians, archivists, and museum professionals to increaseand scholarly engagement with a collection at an institution. However, a key difference, and one important for our purposes, is that, unlike digital editions and archives, online Whereas digital editions and exhibits are not editorial in scope. Rather, their edited,scholarly intervention comes at the level of the digital archives offer scholarly collected works as a whole, often explicitly and editorial interventionscopy of addressing the provenance and institutional individual items in a collection, context of the archival collection they make available. online digital exhibits offer Whereas digital editions and digital ar- critical assessmentsreviewed, of entire chives offer scholarly and editorial interven- collections tions of individual items in a collection, online digital exhibits offer critical assessments of peer entire collections. This is where USC Digital Voltaireis differs from other, similar projects: it does both. Its critical apparatus is applied at the level of the document and the collection. The same questions that are asked of mss.individual letters within the collection—inquiries about their origin, historical context, and material status—are asked of the collection as a whole. What is the collection’s This provenance and history? How was it acquired? What is its institutional context, and how might that reflect on individual items in the collection? What were the digital preserva- tion methods for the collection? How was its metadata record constructed, and how is that different from other collections? USC Digital Voltaire: Centering Digital Humanities in the Traditions of Library and Archival Science Danielle Mihram and Curtis Fletcher 13

In this way, USC Digital Voltaire is not a critical edition of a work, an oeuvre, or a set of papers in a traditional sense. Rather, it is a critical edition of an institutional collec- tion, a cross between a digital edition and a digital exhibit. As a critical edition, then, it offers a way to blend these genres, and in doing so, to foreground the nature of archival collections while also doing important editorial work and offering a wide array of digi- tal research tools. USC Digital Voltaire represents one way to think about what digital archives and editions might look like when created by library professionals. USC Digital Voltaire was conceived, designed, and implemented by five subject 19.1. specialist librarians, two metadata librarians, and two library staff members, one spe- cializing in Web design and the other in digital scholarly communication. In both the makeup of our team and in the focus of the project, USC Digital Voltaire seeks to centerportal digital humanities within the library squarely in the traditions of library and archival science. As . . . USC Digital Voltaire seeks a digital humanities project, library professionals to center digital humanities established its scholarly objectives and carried out its critical interventions.

With USC Digital Voltaire, we have established a workflow in which students can create and submit a variety of content: annotations, mini-essays, visualizations, or films. In addition, students may be asked to embed their content within the overall hypermedia structure of the project—that is, to think about the With USC Digital Voltaire, multiple contexts in which that content may live and the various pathways by which readers may we have established a work- navigate to and from it.

In this way, USC Digital Voltaire, and the pedagogical workflows described in this article, may facilitate core aspects of the Association of College and Research Libraries “Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education” by encouraging students to see themselves as both producers and consumers of knowledge,publication, and as contributors to informational and scholarly ecosystems.13 In addition,for asking students to reflect on issues of information structure while generating scholarly content invites them to take part in shaping our expansive, multimedia critical edition. In doing so, the project takes seriously the role undergraduates can have in thinking through the organization, interactivity, and readability of emergent scholarlyaccepted genres in the digital humanities. In fall 2017, one of our faculty colleagues in the Department of French and Italian included an assignment in her undergraduateand course Equality and Difference around the Enlightenment that provided detailed guidelines on annotating letters in USC Digi- tal Voltaire that are not yet annotated. One outcome of this initiative was the awarding of a USC Provost’s Undergrad Research Fellowship for summer 2018 to one of these students, who has undertaken to writeedited, “mini-essays” for several additional letters in our USC Digital Voltaire.14 This outcome, which supports our goal for student engage- ment, is particularly encouragingcopy as we begin to develop opportunities for students to create scholarly modules (including visualizations, music, and cinematic art) related to Voltaire and the Enlightenment. Additional students plan to compete for such an award in summer 2019. Student interestreviewed, in our project has led to another undergraduate’s desire to work with us as a partner in the creation of a second digital humanities project, Emotionally Intelligent Robots, which explores the complexities of human-machine interaction, in- cludingpeer our emotional bonds with machines, our efforts to replicate or artificially model humanity,is and what it means to be human. The student has received a yearlong research award for the academic year 2018–2019 from the USC Undergraduate Research Asso- mss.ciates Program.15 As such, this burgeoning project closely aligns with the New Media Consortium and the Consortium for School Networking’s 2016 K–12 Horizon Report. The This report identifies “students as creators” and creative skills as positive outcomes of allow- ing students to take control of their own learning, so that they may set their own goals and design ways to meet them.16 Nonetheless, such opportunities for students to create must be carefully planned, and our collaborative curricular and mentoring initiatives with departmental faculty are precious assets as we move forward.

As we look ahead, we also see USC Digital Voltaire as a potential space for students outside our university to engage in digital research and writing. USC Digital Voltaire is modeled on such projects as the Map of Early Modern London, a collaborative project of the University of Victoria in Canada that relies on con- tent created by students and other qualified users Our hope is to allow faculty to develop an interactive map of London between from a variety of colleges about 1560 and 1640. Our hope is to allow faculty from a variety of colleges and universities to assign and universities to assign 19.1. students to write entries that will be published live students to write entries to our site after undergoing an online review pro- cess.17 Projects like the Map of Early Modern London that will be published liveportal to fill a much-needed gap for both faculty and students our site after undergoing an who wish to work digitally.

Such projects are particularly welcome for educatorspublication, who either lack the necessary digital resources to get started or would rather havefor their students gain such skills while collaborating on a bona fide, public-facing digital humanities project. For students, these projects offer the opportunity to develop digital writing skills, gain experience with the peer and editorial review process, and acquire a publication credit with a known project. accepted Lookingand Ahead One of USC Digital Voltaire’s major goals is to support scholarly inquiry at all levels, beyond the traditional disciplines that are generally associated with Voltaire and the Enlightenment. We aim to developedited, national and international strategic alliances by bringing together scholars and students from different fields of the humanities, includ- ing history, literature, philosophy,copy and art history, together with disciplines in the social , such as international relations and political science. As a start, and as a result of Danielle Mihram’s research travel in June 2018 to the Institut et Musée Voltaire (Voltaire Institute and Museum) in Geneva, Switzerland,18 we have begun to establish a “scholarly bridge” between our project and the institute’s reviewed, digital initiatives. We hope that, as USC Digital Voltaire continues to grow, our collabora- tions with library colleagues at other institutions will lead to projects that center digital humanitiespeer within the library, squarely in the traditions of library and archival science. Weis also look forward to the possibility of learning of any colleague’s interest in such collaborations. mss.

Voltaire himself was aware of the scope of his correspondence: On January 15, 1761, in portal his letter (EE: D9542) to Madame du Deffand, Voltaire (then aged 67) stated that he was “crushed by a correspondence stretching from Pondicherry to Rome” (“accablé d’une correspondance qui s’étend de Pondichéry jusqu’à Rome”). (Pondicherry was a French colonial settlement in India until 1954.)
