Summary:Keywords digital humanities, women writers, archives, collections, database, travel writing, native american, biography, dime novel, genre fiction Review of The Bluestocking Archive, Emory Women Writers Resource Project, and Women's Travel Writing, 1780-1840: A Bio-Bibliographical Database Reviewed by Megan Peiser University of Missouri Increasingly universities are participating in digital humanities resource projects on women writers through the role of sponsors or web hosts. Women 's Travel Writing's database structure and format will be familiar to users of Peter Garside's British Fiction Database 1800-1829, a Cardiff University project that has done well to set standard material elements to be included in bibliographical databases (e.g. library source for first edition, text format), many of which originate from Garside and James Raven's print bibliography, The English Novel 1770-1829: A Bibliographical Survey of Prose Fiction Published in the British Isles. [...]several of the authors featured in the database do not have an entry in either of the aforementioned biographical resources.
