Resources & Outreach
The WWP hosts a number of text encoding workshops and seminars throughout the year for various skill levels. From 2008 through 2011 the WWP also hosted an annual conference "Women in the Archives" in collaboration with the Sarah Doyle Women's Center and several other groups at Brown University.
In addition to the "Women Writers Online" collection, the WWP also offers some public resources helpful for researchers and teachers interested in early modern women writers. These include orientations for getting the most out of researching within the online collection, possible assignments that take advantage of the online user interface, and syllabi submitted by professors that incorporate the online texts and focus on courses in Renaissance and early modern literature, women’s studies, and related subjects.

Famous quotes containing the word resources:
“But, with whatever exception, it is still true that tradition characterizes the preaching of this country; that it comes out of the memory, and not out of the soul; that it aims at what is usual, and not at what is necessary and eternal; that thus historical Christianity destroys the power of preaching, by withdrawing it from the exploration of the moral nature of man; where the sublime is, where are the resources of astonishment and power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
