"We wanted to offer everyone the opportunity to encounter these novels as Victorian readers did," said Kathy Markees, preservation librarian and co-director of Project Boz with Lora Brueck, assistant director of collections.
"Looking at the high-resolution scans we've made of the text, the delightful illustrations (which are not always included in modern print editions), and the ads from publishers, tailors, apothecaries, and other merchants, is the closest you can come to experiencing these rarely seen serial parts short of holding them in your hands," Markees said.
