The Versioning Machine

By MITH|2019-01-15T10:28:25-05:00Jul 8, 2015|

The Versioning Machine was a display environment designed specifically for displaying and comparing deeply-encoded, multiple versions of texts, including a robust typology of notes and bibliographic information. It also displayed manuscript images of each version in an applet which provides for several image enhancement features (such as increased/decreased contrast, image enlargement/reduction, etc. In short, it proved an electronic environment for creating a critical electronic edition. The Versioning Machine made its debut at the 2002 ALLC/ACH (Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing/Association for Computers and the Humanities) Conference in Tübingen, Germany, July 2002.

The goal was to construct a significant scholarly online resource for studying John Milton’s A Maske, familiarly known as Comus.

Really proud of the work that I did with my colleagues at @documentnow. More proud of the new directions the work is going. In our current uncertain sociopolitical moment @DocNow continues to be vitally important to creating new ethical ways to archive social media.

The poems, edited for a never-realized posthumous publication, were recovered from the laptop of Deena Larsen at @UMD_MITH by @UMDEnglish Professor Matthew Kirschenbaum. The @internetarchive (fittingly in Dickey’s home city of San Francisco) finally offers us a platform for them.
