The John Milton Reading Room

http://digitalhumanities.dartmouth.edu/projects/the-john-milton-reading-room/

The John Milton Reading Room is an online archive in affiliation with Digital Humanities at Dartmouth. It is comprised of prose, poetry, epigrams, and Paradise Lost/Regain'd in digital form. The viewer has the language options of Latin and English, and a Dartmouth login isn't required to view the archives.  The "project principal investigator" as is stated on the website, or general editor,  is Thomas H. Luxon of the Dartmouth department of English. The website design is by the DALI Lab. As quoted from the web page, Digital Humanities is "where computing meets the big picture questions across the disciplines of the humanities. by its very nature, it involves novel methods, analysis, and tools to discover new ways of understanding to world around us." Though this archive does not perfectly align with the idea of the social edition per "Toward Modeling the Social Edition," there are social practices put in to this collection that make me wonder if  it can be categorized as such regardless.
This project is using social media in an interesting way- "the Milton Reading Room Facebook page is experimenting successfully with crowd-sourced scholarship"- so it is socially funded. I requested to join their Facebook page, and was met with posts from the editor, Thomas H. Luxon, as well as people I assume are either interested in the project, or are working on it as well. On November 7 Luxon updated that he is "working on a bit of a mystery today concerning the Tetrachordon." He goes on to explain that several online editions are missing pages, and he is trying to figure out if there was a photocopying error, or if the book is actually missing those pages. There are other interactive posts throughout the page in which the editor is keeping his readers up to date with his current scholarship regarding the John Milton Reading Room. There is even a post asking for peer review. The John Milton Reading Room is an intriguing project in my opinion due to the use of social media in its assembly.
