The correspondence project is part of the Thomas Raddall Electronic Archive Project. Supported by a grant from the Birks Family Foundation and with the assistance of the Electronic Text Centre at Dalhousie University, a project team based in the Killam Memorial Library designed and created the database. The text of each letter is accompanied by an image of the original page, a content summary, subject headings, and annotations. Searches are performed on a database index compiled using structured grep, a software application for searching and indexing SGML, XML, and HTML files. The Association of Research Libraries is offering the ARL Online Lyceum, which provides professional development opportunities for academic and research library staff via distance learning technology.
Learners can complete courses at their convenience from home.
The Lyceum is being coordinated by the ARL Office of Leadership and Management Services and by Library Affairs, Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

The fellowships encourage scholarly and literary use of the collections and the production of publications based on them. Fellowships are not awarded to candidates working toward higher degrees, but are open to individuals living overseas.
