Founders Memorial Library

In the Mark Twain's Mississippi Project, Northern Illinois University, partnering with Tulane University, St. Louis Mercantile Library, and the Newberry Library, will digitize and mount on a free-use Internet site text, image, sound, and related data about society and culture on the Mississippi River from 1830-1890. The project will present scholars' interpretive materials on Samuel Clemens' (Mark Twain's) Mississippi River writings as a part of an integrated online learning environment and will explore the integration of text and image materials into new geo-spatial interfaces.
