Jane Addams Papers in Reviews in Digital Humanities

Reviews in Digital Humanities is a pilot for peer-reviewed journal that facilitates scholarly evaluation of digital humanities work and its outputs. In its most recent issue (Vol. 3, No. 2, Feb. 2022), Núria Sara Miras Boronat of the Universitat de Barcelona wrote a review of the Jane Addams Papers website and digital edition (JADE), edited by Cathy Moran Hajo, Stacy Lynn, and Victoria Sciancalepore. It is she noted:

JADE is one of the most important interventions that has occurred in the last decade for not only Addams’ work but also for pragmatist scholarship. It provides very valuable information about the intertextual and contextual references of her writings, which are not obvious to contemporary readers, especially if those readers are not from the U.S. or are not English native speakers. It also informs readers about the density of connections and affections of one of the greatest thinkers and activists of the progressive era. Finally, it has a strong value as a project for teaching digital humanities.
