Information storage and retrieval. In the academy, only these teechnology projects are traditionally recognized and rewarded. The following webs have been created by scholars with the significant support of their institutions, evidence of which is apparent on their home pages.

The Rossetti Archive is a product of Jerome McGann and the University of Virginia;
The Perseus Digital Library is edited by Gregory Crane of Tufts University;
The Voice of the Shuttle was devised by Alan Liu at UC, Santa Barbara; and
The Cyberarts Web, the Dickens Web, and the Victorian Web were all created by George Landow of Brown University.

Further points:

Emphasis on authority of text - all links are vetted and classified, like a bricks-and-mortar library
Emphasis on permanence - the Dickens Web and the Victorian Web are available on CD, eliminating the possiblity of new connections
Emphasis on ease of use
Mistrust of images unless they are canonical - gender connection here
