Scholarly Editing and Digital Publication Projects

Yale University is home to several long-term scholarly editing projects for eighteenth century sources. Some projects hold significant reference and resource collections that are available to others for consultation, generally by appointment. Editorial staff also are available for consultation and assistance, and some programs offer internships, work study and other opportunities for student engagement.
