Willa Cather has been Webified

Catherarchive Fans of Willa Cather should spend a little time or perhaps a lot of time perusing the Willa Cather Archive (http://cather.unl.edu), a site over ten years in the making and supported by the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Visitors can read digital text from a variety of Cather’s works, including book-length publications, such as One of Ours, as well as interviews, letters, and speeches. An extensive and searchable image collection from the Archives and Special Collections of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln libraries is also included. The site continues to evolve and expand; a map-based geographic chronology of Cather’s life is planned for publication this year. New materials are featured on the Archive’s home page as they are added.

UNP continues to publish many of Cather’s works in book form, including classics such as O Pioneers! as well as fresh scholarship, such as Axes, a new study of the relationship between Cather’s and William Faulkner’s texts that were published between 1922 and 1962 .
