Acknowledgments

Research into The Note Books of a Woman Alone and the production of this website were made possible by an Insight Development Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

Crucial funding for research assistance in the early stages of the project came from the University of Saskatchewan. For diligent groundwork I thank my assistants Cristen Polley and Robin Adair.

Jade McDougall was a partner in the production of this website, and is the creator of the image files as well the xml and html. In the course of our work together she taught me most of what I know about the digitization of books. She also assisted with the remaining research, and with design decisions. I have relied on her integrity, judgment, and efficiency, and am grateful for her dependable good nature.

Jon Bath, Director of the University of Saskatchewan Humanities & Fine Arts Digital Research Centre, was responsible for technical design and programming, and has been indispensible throughout every stage of the project, from grant writing to publication. I thank Jon for his generosity with his time and resources and for stimulating discussions about the field of digital humanities. A passionate scholar of book history and design as well, it was Jon who pointed out the resemblance of The Note Books’ dust jacket to that of Ezra Pound’s Active Anthology.

Special thanks to Dr. Claire Battershill for providing a wealth of information about publishing practices in the modernist era.

Invaluable assistance in the search for records and documents came from a number of libraries and archives. For hunting through files and sending documents I thank librarians and staff at The British Library, Hull History Centre, University of North Carolina Special Collections, University of Reading Special Collections, University of Roehampton Archives and Special Collections, University of Sussex Special Collections, Syracuse University Library, and University of Warwick Modern Records Centre.

Finally, I thank my friends and colleagues in the University of Saskatchewan Department of English for their interest and encouragement as this project evolved, and especially the Department Head, Lisa Vargo, for her unfailing support.
