The Venetian Notebooks project aimed to draw on the resources of the Ruskin Foundation within the Ruskin Library, the Ruskin Centre and the Ruskin Seminar Programme based at Lancaster University. The Ruskin Library, directed and curated by Stephen Wildman, contains an extensive archive of Ruskin materials owned by the Ruskin Foundation and provides the resources and curatorial support appropriate for an international research library. The Ruskin Centre, directed by Professor Keith Hanley, provides a focus, nationally and internationally, for interdisciplinary research through its publications and its weekly seminars. It has organised colloquia and conferences leading to publication of four inter-disciplinary essay collections. In 2000, 2005 and 2007 it hosted international conferences on Ruskin. The most sustained single achievement has been the Electronic Project, encompassing The Works of John Ruskin on CD-ROM (CUP, 1996); the digitisation project of materials in the Ruskin Library; and, from 1997 to 2002, supported by funding from the Leverhulme Trust, the creation of a hypertext edition of Modern Painters Vol 1 (here).
