The William Blake Archive is a digital humanities project first created in 1996. The project is sponsored by the Library of Congress and supported by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[1] Inspired by the Rossetti Archive, the archive provides digital reproductions of the various works of William Blake, a prominent Romantic-period poet, artist, and engraver, alongside annotation, commentary and scholarly materials related to Blake.[2]
The archive, as a digital humanities project, offers high resolution images of Blake's work, including his illuminated books, watercolor paintings, commercial engravings, tempera paintings, large-color prints, and manuscripts, providing scholars and students an opportunity to research the complexity and scope of his creative output often not available by viewing the scholarly print editions.[3][4]
