Summary

Linked Early Modern Drama Online (LEMDO) is an infrastructural project designed to host the New Internet Shakespeare Editions (NISE) and other anthologies of early modern plays. This chapter – the first scholarly piece about LEMDO as a project – begins with a brief overview of the origins of LEMDO and its three principal objectives: to preserve the work of the old ISE and its sibling projects; to build a platform that sets new standards for preparing and preserving digital editions; and to create a networked hub for the study of early modern drama. LEMDO provides tools to view Shakespeare ‘in combination’, serves multiple user groups and supports asynchronous collaboration. Although LEMDO disseminates both digital and print outputs through its partnership with UVic ePublishing, editors agree to leave their editions ‘open’ for future pedagogical annotations so that the edition can capture the performances and criticism that the edition inspires. Students are stakeholders in and co-creators of LEMDO as part of their education, not merely consumers of its outputs. The involvement of students makes long-term preservation an ethical matter.
