Thanks to the following for making the various pieces of this site possible:

• the participants of my Rare Book School 1999 class, Electronic Texts and Images, for transcribing many of the letters and encoding them with TEI tags
  
  the directors and staff of the University of Virginia Special Collections Dept, the Poe Museum, and the Valentine Museum, for providing the letters and other manuscripts contained in this collection
  
  Rick Britton and the UVA Alumni News for allowing us to re-print "A Student Named Poe".
  
  
• Sarah Lee Barnes for arranging the loan of the Valentine and Poe Museum manuscripts and for giving us the excuse to work on Poe materials for this on-line exhibit
  
  
• The staff of the Etext Center, notably Lisa Spiro, Johnnie Wilcox, Matt Gibson, and Carolyn Fay, for designing the site, transcribing and proofing the letters, and generally making the whole thing work.
  

  Carolyn Fay's work (1998-99) is underwritten by the generous support of J. Wallace Sieg.
