Harvard University Press will open a new Emily Dickinson Archive this fall, collecting manuscripts and annotations of her classic poetry.

 Above, we’ve embedded a manuscript copy of her poem, “‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers.” If you want to read digital copies of her poems, Project Gutenberg has free eBook editions of her complete poems.
Here’s more from Harvard University Press: “The Emily Dickinson Archive will make manuscripts of Dickinson’s poetry, along with transcriptions and annotations from scholarly editions, available in open access—inspiring new scholarship and discourse on this literary icon. Features: Find poems easily with multiple index and reference tools. Study the poet’s own handwriting, variants, and arrangement of her work. Read and compare editions and transcriptions through time. Conduct new scholarship; share comments, assignments, and reading lists.”

The release is part of Harvard University Press’ centennial celebration. The press has unveiled a new logo (pictured) and a series of new initiatives.
