Abstract

The article "Searching for Gladstone: Bringing nineteenth-century liberal history into the digital age" discusses the digitization project undertaken by Gladstone's Library in Hawarden, North Wales, funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The project aimed to create a digital catalogue of William Ewart Gladstone's annotated books and papers, shedding light on his life as a politician and liberal thinker. The library, founded by Gladstone, holds historic and contemporary collections focused on history, literature, theology, and politics, making it a unique resource for research, discussion, and learning. The project revealed the interconnectedness of Gladstone's political and personal life, offering insights into his legacy and relevance today. [Extracted from the article]
