[Personal_archives] Salman Rushdie's digital archives at Emory

[Hobbs, Catherine]

http://ow.ly/18rJO

A wonderful description of the project to emulate Salman Rushdie's digital environment using his digital archives at Emory University.  Some great concepts in here such as the computer reflecting the "biostructure" (personal online environment of the creator) and the computer retaining the "imprint of the writer's personality" (of course, that's right up my alley).

Sure to be enjoyed by archivists interested in literary and personal archives alike,
Catherine
