The Digital Mark Twain Day by Day Wiki is part of a larger project to create a new digital version of David Fears' Mark Twain Day by Day: An Annotated Chronology of the Life of Samuel L. Clemens. The digital project, generously supported by Susan Jaffe Tane, aims to make Fears more accessible and searchable, and, above all, useful to researchers.

In doing so, we are not only creating a digital version of Fears' work but also bringing it together with Scott Holmes' exceptional digital project, Twain's Geography (twainsgeography.com), network visualizations, new search capabilities, and a more robust, user-friendly interface.

The Wiki will serve to give scholars working on the project quick access to documents and versions in different formats, from the original publication to a WikiText version, while at the same time allowing us to make changes and edits in real time.
