Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities (University of Virginia)

The William Blake Archive Project was proposed in 1993 by the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities (IATH), a humanities computing research center located at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, as an experiment in hypermedia scholarly communication. A collaboration was formed between the IATH, directed by John Unsworth, and three noted Blake experts, the latter of whom also serve as the editors of the William Blake Archive Web site: Morris Eaves, University of Rochester; Robert Essick, University of California, Riverside; and Joseph Viscomi, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The William Blake Archive Project, as a pioneer in the area of electronic scholarship, represents one of the earliest and most influential examples of electronic scholarship, establishing standards for electronic editing, site construction, and digital reproduction, serving as the model for subsequent projects.
