The Dalhousie Manuscripts Project is a digital diplomatic edition of two coterie manuscripts housed in the Texas Tech University’s Special Collections library.

These 17th century manuscripts contain miscellaneous materials related to the divorce trial of the Earl of Essex as well as poems from several authors (including John Donne), some known and others anonymous. There were several scribes in the manuscripts, many of whom we believe to have been Scottish.

A beta of the edition is underway.
