Subject: A New Website for the Center for Mark Twain Studies


> Dear Twain Community,
>
> I am proud to announce that the Elmira College Center for Mark Twain
> Studies has a new official website.  The focus of the website is 
> everything
> and anything related to the study of Mark Twain, his literature, his 
> times,
> his family, his associates, and his reception.
>
> The address is www.marktwainstudies.org
>
> The editor-in-chief of the website is Dr. Matthew Seybold, Assistant
> Professor of American Literature and Mark Twain Studies at Elmira College.
> He will be writing a blog which will give you CMTS announcements of
> lectures, new archival acquisitions, conference/symposium updates, and
> anything else Twain-related.
>
> While just in its nascent stages, the website will eventually contain
> almost all of the material from the Elmira College Mark Twain Archives
> digital form, including the Quarry Farm Mark Twain marginalia, all 
> historic
> photographs, and all of our various archival collections.  We want this to
> become a useful tool for both researchers and teachers of Mark Twain
> studies.
>
> One of our most exciting projects is a virtual tour of Quarry Farm.  We
> have some 360 degree images of Quarry Farm currently up, but hope to have
> the entire historic complex available to you in the near future.
>
> Finally, the website will contain past audio lectures of "The Trouble
> Begins at Eight" lecture series (some dating back to the early 1980's),
> past conference and symposium programs, teaching resources for the
> classroom, and "fictional" updates about Quarry Farm residents from Steve
> Webb, the Quarry Farm Caretaker, just to name a few of the things to come.
>
> The CMTS website strives to be a communal place for all Twain scholars and
> teachers.  If you ever want to make an announcement about anything Twain
> occuring in your community, if you want to promote your book, if you want
> to announce a lecture or special event at your school, please let us know
> and we would be more than happy to post it on the website.
>
> Please bookmark www.marktwainstudies.org and let us know what you think!
>
> Take care,
