Updates made to description of Integrated Guide to Manuscripts

Brett and I made some changes to the description of the integrated guide to manuscripts at http://whitmanarchive.org/manuscripts/finding_aids/integrated.html, specifically by eliminating language describing the work as being in prototype form and eliminating the reference to the finding aids to collections at NYPL and the the University of Texas as being in progress.  We also added "France" to the list of countries holding Whitman manuscripts.

Scribal Documents Published

We have published an installment of approximately 100 new scribal documents, bringing to a close the first phase of our work on Whitman's Scribal Documents. This work was truly a team effort, with important contributions from Anthony Dreesen, Nima Kianfar, Courtney Lawton, Elizabeth Lorang, Kevin McMullen, Ken Price, and John Schwaninger.

As part of the release of these materials, I have updated the News & Updates section of the home page as well as the News page.

Overview and staff pages tweaked

In the "Overview" page in "About the Archive," I added a mention of our most recent grant from NHPRC (2013-2014).  I also added Literary Studies in the Digital Age to my description on the "staff" page.

Typo Corrected in Complete Prose Works

Ken spotted a typo (a closing curly brace had been substituted for a closing parenthesis), which I've now corrected.
