TheWalt Whitman Archiveis guided by pragmatic
principles in its attempt to achieve two goals
1) Edit the vast textual corpus Whitman produced
2) Provide access to a wide range of related
materials that shed light on his writings, including
photos, reviews, translations, criticism of his
writings and accounts of his life, finding guides to
his manuscripts, and bibliographies of criticism.
